I bought a black pair and without a doubt these shoes are probably one of the most comfortable shoes I've won in years. I quickly ordered another pair. These shoes are well made. The inside is very soft and fits very well. I bought a size 9.5M for $118 which turned out to be quite expensive. I was disappointed to find that the price had been reduced to around $65 a few days later! The sole is rubberized and will recover somewhat after a day of walking, but they are quite soft (moccasins will probably be needed for this). The inside of the shoe is really comfortable and although I wore them on a fairly warm day I didn't feel any sweat which means they are probably breathing well. I am now waiting for the second pair in the cognac color, especially at a reduced price. I will update this post over time once I have a clear idea of their performance.
