These shoes are reasonably priced. They are comfortable to walk on but I would only use them on the road. They are too soft and mushy for trail riding. Although I haven't had them long it looks like they won't last long but that's just my gut feeling. Worst of all, if you try to put the shoe on without opening it, the heel pad will slide down. Yes, I know I'm too lazy not to unlace, but I haven't had problems like this with other boots.
