So. My shoes have a tongue, just for you readers. TLDR, buy it. I've had this pair for almost a year. My first comment about them was WOW, they are heavier than expected and good quality. You've seen Wisconsin's winters and our hot summers. I work in a factory that is made entirely of concrete or vinyl tile. My feet feel comfortable in them at work and during work. I've worn them frisbee golf and jumping in puddles (not recommended BUT they are quite water resistant EXCEPT when weaving under a lightning strike. The pattern below is a bit odd to me. Parking in a gravel lot which I do about every Last week gravel got stuck in the sole of the shoe. Also, they have a different feel when riding. When I bought them, I didn't like the pattern, but I certainly get compliments. Red color definitely looks good with anything black. 🤷🏻♀️ 🤣They fit well August 20, 2021 I ordered my first pair (along with a few other pairs I've tried but not that much) August 13, 2022 (THIS review) and I'm in, my Next pair to order $20 shoes from Walmart.
