Attention, Kia Wah Bay is not the same Kiawah Bay, but disappointment!

Timberland has long been my favorite shoe brand for everyday wear. Because I was very happy with the boat shoe Kiawah Bay (70522), I believed the "Timberland EK Kia Wah Bay" to get identical replacement to the house. Unfortunately, I have received only a cheap imitation, which made me consider briefly whether it might not even be a fake.

After unpacking first noticed that, unlike its predecessor, the side circumferential leather reinforcement is gone, it is now only a decorative seam. The shoe should therefore be ausgelatscht very quickly.

Ultimately, but unfortunately also causes lack of "classic 360 ° lacing" the high point deduction me the advertised. The circumferential lacing is namely only an ornamental dummy! There is no connection to the laces. The ends are glued somewhere next to the tongue. That's really disappointing, unprofessional and not authentic. So is a little shoes of a Timberland boat shoe.
