User Reviews
These shoes are the most comfortable leather shoes I have ever owned. I got tired of wearing running shoes to walk in and wanted to up my game so to speak. These shoes not heavy but they are sturdy and well constructed with strong sturdy laces. The foot bed is extremely comfortable and unbelievably well cushioned. I walk 90 minutes 4x a week and have never had an issue, there was no break in period just put them on and walked 90 minutes. The only regret I have is that I did not discover these shoes 20 years ago when I started long distance urban walking.
comfort, styling, good grain leather
Be warned that these run slightly narrow towards the front of the arch, just past the laces. I don't need a wide in any other of my shoes, but it looks like I need a wide for these. Otherwise a good looking shoe.
Great product. Once I determined that these fit, I ordered another pair in a different color. One thing to note is the sizing: order up slightly. I wear a 10 1/2 in most shoe sizes. This fit me best with an 11.
Style and comfort
You can feel the web pattern of the rubber sole when you put these shoes on. They omitted the finishing sole! It like you are walking on a grate in your bare feet. Sad as this shoe design is exactly what I was looking for and was elated to final find a shoe to replace my Merrill's with the same shoe pattern (which they discontinued). Poorly constructed leaves yet another black mark on something made in Viet Nam.
nice craft work but shoe is just too ugly with the duck design. I could match my personality and style of dressing with the shoe so i returned it . Outside of that, its a good buy and will probably last
I wanted a pair of shoes for work that were dress casual. These shoes are well made, and very comfortable. They seem like they will last a long time. I am very pleased with the purchase.
