In their words
“This is my second review ~ I tested these shoes thoroughly ~ I start my walks at 4:30 AM every monring till 9:00 AM ~ Decided to test them the past two weeks in when the morning weather was between 30 & 35 degrees ~ I live outside, off grid, so I keep my shoes outside, and was able to stick my feet inside when the temperature was 30 degreess ~ I walked through wet grass, and some water, and it was”

“These are casual shoes and not hiking boots. They don't have much support and you can feel hot spots in the soles. They lacing system works well for shoes but they don't work well with so many eyelets in this model. You can't make the ankle section tight without making the lower area also overly tight. I also hiked about 150miles and the lugs are showing serious wear. I estimate these will be worn”
