Review on ILoveSIA Athletic Outdoor Leather Sandals Men's Shoes by Jason Richardson

I wanted sporty leather sandals that could be worn all day around the house and to run errands, but good enough to wear in hobby conditions . Bar and restaurants with bars. The size of this US9 model has an 11 ⅛ long insole. After several months of almost daily use, they had two major problems. The first was the premature wear of the fuzzy half of the velcro. The velcro lasted 2-3 times longer than theirs. A more common way for the velcro to fail is for the other (loop) half of the fastener to fail while enough (albeit significantly fewer) fluff halves still work what resulting in longer life than if that velcro failed really the sandal's fault, but on my own, I unrealistically underestimated the possibility that ANY athletic webbed leather sandal would permanently stretch to the point where it wouldn't fit properly could tighten. This is because my previous sports sandals instead of nylon straps had zhanye. From this experience I learned that braided nylon belts are much more resistant to constant stretching than leather belts. So these sporty leather sandals are now so loose (after maximum stretching of the two instep straps) that they work a little better than a pair of slippers. However, I continue to wear them in shops and restaurants/bars where customers usually wear jeans or shorts. If the straps stretch to the point I have, they become useless for going up/down even small slopes. If I were to keep these sandals for just casual use at informal restaurants I would bet it would be around 4 times. 5 years before the conditions described above occur. Speaking of sizing, my 9ft size has an overall length of 10 ¾" each. These sandals originally resulted in a ¾" gap measured from the tip of my thumb to the front tip. one and only; that is, if both straps were good and tight. But since they stretched, my foot now routinely slides across the insole, sometimes moving my big toe just half an inch from the front end of the sole. day within the last 18 months. During that time I weighed 175-183 pounds. The good news is that the inner waffle rib of the outsole (just below the insole at the heel) has not yet cracked or collapsed, which would otherwise cause the heel pocket to sag. This is a common problem with most athletic shoes, including more expensive sneakers and sandals. Another piece of good news is that the treads on the outsole show little to no wear, but are 90% used. in the room. The bad news is that the sole recently cracked and fractured both left and right throughout the forefoot. And then the front of the right sole came off completely. So I had to piece it together with ShooGoo. Overall, while I'm happy with them, they still look good and if the left outsole is forward I know I can have it repaired inexpensively. I'm hoping for an additional 12 months of daily use from them, thanks in part to the leather upper as well as the excellent internal baffles molded into the sole and supporting the heel of the foot.
