This is by far the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn. So why the 2 star rating? It's also the worst-made shoe I've ever worn. I have had over 6 pairs of these shoes and each pair lasted about 3 months. They are so poorly constructed that I don't usually wear them outside. I only wear them to the gym. Despite this, the lower pads are coming off the boots and the tow box is torn and worn in several places. Each shoe is washed in the same place after exactly 3 months. As convenient as they are, they're just not worth spending around $150 on them four times a year. Also, the incessant emails the company sends out after the purchase is about as bad as any company I've ever dealt with. I ended up having to call the company to try and get the company to stop. It was unsuccessful.
