Having read many good reviews, I decided to invest in a pair of boots for the winter.
The positives. They are indeed incredibly comfortable, you wear them and just walk, no break-in or anything. No discomfort anywhere, as if you've had them for a while.
Waterproof, yes. Used 90% in the city and a bit outside, they didn't feel anything in any puddle. And this is where the positives end.
The negatives. Let's start with the laces. Terrible. They come undone easily if you don't double knot them.
The insole is below average. It was replaced with a Magnum Survivor and it became a different shoe. Much more stable and comfortable.
The sole slips easily on the sidewalk, like all of them. 200 km and I don't see any particular wear.
And the most important, the reason I'm writing this review. Dude, what kind of construction quality is this?
I've done 204 km in a year, almost all in the city. After 120 km and above, cracks started appearing on the sides as you can see in the photos. Is this possible? I've never seen such a mess before. I don't know if it's fabric or some recyclable material, but when you ask for €160 for a shoe, what I saw is unacceptable. A tragic fail in construction quality. Fortunately, they were bought on sale for €100, but still, why? Such a comfortable shoe but so poorly made. I mean, if I took it 200 km off-road, what would happen, would I come back barefoot?
Really two stars for comfort and waterproofing.
It's a pity, they officially downgrade to work shoes in just one year.
