- Made in China What a great shoe. What a terrible outsole. The shoes themselves are great. Ventilated and soft. The ankle is an elastic band, unlike the usual fixed position. It can be a little finicky, but it's very handy. The lining of the insole is medium. The laces are functional to hold it up a bit. Sole - stay indoors when wearing them. There is no clutch or tread. It's a layer of some plastic on top of what feels like smooth foam. It's extremely light and I'm sure that's why the shoe is so light overall, but it's terrible for traction. Also, the sole heel sticks out further than the boot itself. It may or may not be useful in terms of cushioning, I don't know, but it looks ugly. Looks like the sole melted and the wearer's weight crushed it, heh. I've added a few close-ups, hopefully that shows what I mean, but seriously, anything even wet, like healthy grass, will make them slip.
