I think I should have listened to the reviews when ordering as they are at least one size larger than your normal size so order one size smaller. I love the design and the feeling when wearing thick winter socks. With normal socks, the shoes clatter a little on my feet. However, I wear them and wear them heavily, intending to beat them up and buy more as soon as possible. Update 8 months later: These protectors have exploded. They would have taken longer, but I had a job. Last but not least, the excavation of dinosaur footprints. I rode her pretty hard. They have a flexible sole and are not very good on foot with the shovel. I am sure they will last much longer on a civilized person or on a couch. Adopt the custom common in more civilized countries. Take off your shoes at the entrance!
