This is a good shoe at a reasonable price. I've had them for a while now and they're holding up well. I live in a rainy climate and they keep my food warm and dry. I beat them in the garden and in the store and they didn't fall apart. I can easily run several kilometers. FWIW, my feet are a bit wide and pretty flat. So shoes with TOO MUCH arch support are torture. As with the other Dunham shoes I've bought before, they seem a bit unconventional when you first put them on. But after about a day they go back to normal. I wore Eccos many years ago and they have always fitted me perfectly, but they tend to be significantly more expensive.
