Long my husband has not the shoes. Nevertheless, one can only say positive first impression. Very lightweight men's boots, soft leather - and then fed still thick warm with lambskin. Size 43 and ordered it to fit exactly as desired. Direct a super comfortable impression. Sole has a good profile. I assume that you order also has reasonable grip when it is smooth outside. Now we hope that he survives well the winter (or even 2 and 3), then we know more. So far, only recommended.
