Primary Use: Hiking and every-day use
Review:
I bought this shoe first time in 2006 and since then had 3 pairs of it. They are by far the most comfortable shoe I have ever owned, so I often wear it even during a normal day to work or on the weekend - even if I don't go hiking, cause they are just so comfortable! Despite the heavy use, they last a really long time with just the sole showing the usual wear but since the profile is quite deep they still last a long time. There is also a Gore-Tex version of it, which makes it then the ultimate low-cut hiking shoe. I also own the high-cut hiking boot type model of it (see related review).
Pros:
- Super comfortable from day 1
- Grip and rubber of the sole is fantastic
- Durability of the entire shoe is second to none - despite the fairly soft rubber of the sole, it lasts a long long time. Stitching and quality of the entire upper fabric is excellent.
Cons:
- None. This shoe delivers way more than you would expect.
Comment:
Colours may change with each model but the shoe and sole has remained the same throughout all the years (which is good cause it works perfectly).
