Really comfortable walking boot, even over stoney ground. My feet love the freedom to spread out and this seems to have a good effect on my legs too as I found I could walk further with less aching muscles by the end of the walk.
This is such a comfortable boot but no way is it waterproof or even water resistant, even after waterproofing. I returned one pair as I thought they must be faulty but the second pair do the same thing. These could have easily of been a 10/10 if it wasn’t for me constantly having wet feet. Such a comfy boot and such a shame.
It fits according to size guide. Seems waterproof though I haven’t done any super difficult walking yet. And the boot is very comfortable. It’s all good
Sie fallen eine Größe größer aus als Bootee M. Das heißt, sie passen mir in 40 perfekt. Die Sohle ist geländetauglicher, rutscht nicht bei Schlamm. Sie sind nicht so schnell durchnässt, wie das Vorgängermodell, aber nicht wasserdicht. Nach einer Hunderunde im Regen und kurzen Wegen durch nasses Gras habe ich mit ihnen nasse Füße. Strort mich aber nicht, sie trocknen sehr schnell. Bis jetzt bin ich sehr zufrieden.
Originally, I purchased these in a size 4, and for a brief moment I was in love. I have never put on a pair of shoes before and thought, "this is how shoes should fit," but in this case I did. At least, I did for one of my feet. Unfortunately the other foot is apparently a little wider/longer than the other foot because my toes were cramped and the shoe rubbed noticably against the side of my foot just below the pinky toe.
Ultimately, I would say the issue was the width. For reference my larger foot is roughly 22.6cm at the widest. If your feet are the same width you might like to check reviews for other styles first because...
I decided to purchase these in a size 5, instead. The fit was nowhere near as amazing, and you could see from how the tongue of the shoe fit that they were a little too big. It solved the toebox problem but created new issues, namely the shoe creasing very uncomfortably across my large toe - and the positioning was clearly not right - but again only on that one foot. Notably, even in the size up, if my foot was in the 'correct' place the width would be too narrow.
It took me a a few hours to decide whether to stick with the size 4 or the size 5, but ultimately I decided on the latter. If the size 4s didn't give there was no way I'd be able to wear them, whereas the size 5s had possible solutions - thicker socks, heel grips, etc. Sending them both back was an option, but I've been stuck in a cycle of sending back shoes before and it costs money/time to do that, time and money that adds up.
Outside of sizing issues, the shoes are great. They look fantastic, feel sturdy, aren't overly heavy, and are going to be a good choice for the wetter, colder weather. If they'd been wide enough I would have nothing but glowing things to say about these, so if they'll fit you they are a definite recommend.
