I have one of the predecessors worn - a whole three years and almost every day, except in winter, of course - and I am absolutely thrilled. Because I need Deposits I needed a shoe that is high enough for it and its leather inlays can be removed. Since I'm overweight, I can speak from personal experience here; It could not be more convenient! The shoe has a tremendous comfort. It is very light, yet very claimable. Whether road asphalt or soft forest floor, you simply run into this soft shoe and he has also excellent support. Although actually designed for Nordic Walking's he is easily used in many other areas. I have this shoe therefore particularly fond of, because I work in sales and a lot has to be here and he has his qualities especially shown. With various other shoes I tried were hurting my feet. With this one bit. So; Just buy it!
