Well, I should have to rely upon the comments and take a size smaller, but still! I kept the previous Caterpillar for over 10 years now, and my previous pair had to take the barbed son for sendommager to the point that I want to change (they were not really torn but had large scars). I used my last pair on numerous occasions and had to get rid of it because of the soles which eventually wear out. Almost immortal shoes which I used to fool both in the mountains (snow or rough terrain) than wading through slush or biking in the rain without catching cold. And I'm a little disappointed in the apparent quality of this new version. This new kind of leather leaves me skeptical. It seems to me of very poor quality, even compared to my previous pair worn. Good afternoon, this may be the new method of treatment of leather that is found in other shoes that give that impression (this is a softer leather which is less put off customers who do not want to bother let the shoes to their feet, although this is a guarantee of strength and incredible comfort when done). The shape of the shoe also seems to me curious. Ok, I have rather large feet, but then I was almost tight in width while the length was much too important third! Only the top of the shoe seemed to breathe the strength and the quality I expected from these shoes. (It must be said that in 10 years, the foam of my previous pair had properly melted) Even change size, I took the opportunity to try the Stickshift model. I hope to be a little less disappointed.
