User Reviews
I wore them on a 7 day trip to Germany. They were perfect for a rainy day as well as a cold sunny day. My feet were always happy.
First of all, these are listed as men's shoes but are women's. That makes a big difference. I trusted the reviewer who stated this and got what I wanted, women's shoes. They are not nice though. They look ok but the heal feels uncomfortable. And the shoes don't appear to be of the same quality as other eco shoes. I wouldn't have bought them had I seen them in a store.
Wanted to like these but I think mine came with a defect. There's a huge seam at the rubber sole right in front at the toe. Looks defective or very cheaply made. These are expensive shoes with a good reputation so I don't understand why they came like that. Even more annoyed that there was no free pick up option on the return and I had to take a trip to UPS to return it. If it's defective, shouldn't Amazon pick it up for free?
I specifically was looking for a man's shoe and this shoe was advertised under men's shoes, but it was a woman's shoe and did not fit. I returned it immediately and bought a better shoe from another company.
