23.01.2025Quality shoes, spot on
These shoes are bombproof. Very sticky soles make for fantastic grip. I read a lot of reviews that suggested you size down. I ordered my normal size (44) and they fit perfectly so beware of sizing down. Love these approach shoes. The quality is up there with my old Fiveten and La Sportiva versions.

29.01.2025Poor Quality
First time buying this brand and also my last. Very poor quality, a lot of adhesive over spill on bonded layers. No foot arch support so definitely not an all day walking shoe in my opinion, more a fashion trainer than an approach shoe.
- Disadvantages
- Poor quality
- Recommended use
- Fashion Shoe Only

These have turned out to be a surprisingly very comfortable everyday shoe compared to my normal Scarpa approach shoes. I must confess to being so taken with them that I have bought a second pair, a purchase normally restricted to Scarpa Approach Shoes. Now they are not as robust let alone waterproof like my Scarpa shoes, but what they are is comfortable and easy on the feet when walking around for hours at an end. They are durable, but not hardy and with a water repellent spray they have stood up to a few showers. At this price point they are a very good buy, but I would personally buy a size larger than your feet actually are.
