Initially comfortable for first year but insole collapsed rendering boot uncomfortable. Design elements like squared elastic section and two-tone leather aging poorly.
Pros
- comfortable initially
- affordable price point
- brand responsive to feedback
Cons
- insole collapsed after one year of wear
- no support after breakdown
- unflattering squared elastic section
- two-tone leather not appealing
- collapsed poron insole made standing painful
