I bought the shoes to einzusetzten him on a hike the Rheinsteig. Of course I have the shoe prior to the actual use to two or three small hikes anticipated shrunk somewhat. Here was noted that the shoe were super carry the weight also in size 48 was very pleasant and I got no pressure points on the feet. Then came the actual hike, who knows the Rheinsteig know that one has to go a variety of different textures of ways here. At the beginning of the third stage I have thought that after my return here has awarded 5 stars for the shoe because it's so easily. Whether this thought was responsible and it is typical of the shoe, that a short time later when a right shoe glue line that secures the sole of the shoe body, over a length of 3 cm. then sparked so three days later my foot at a rain shower was wet. At the end of the last stage after 3 weeks Rheinsteig hike occurred to me then even a normal dissolved seam on the left shoe on. So I can say as an overall judgment that the shoe while showing a high wearing comfort, but you can throw away the shoes after about 350 kilometers hiking. Vondaher the disappointment is great which is then reflected also in only two stars.
