Actually, my wife balks shoes to buy, they can not try on. But this time they just had to try it (because of the price). The Brown sees in natura much better than in the pictures, it's dark and so pleasant to look at. Today, the shoes came after I had ordered from Amazon yesterday. My wife has tried them once and they do not even want to take it off. They are like all Seibel- shoes wonderfully soft, super comfortable and fit in the specified size. Processing looks elegant. As for running in wet conditions, because you have probably with every leather shoe problems, ie you have to take care of him.
