The shoes look fabulous for my taste - summery sporty with fresh accents. The main material is very flexible, so I have the impression to wear moccasins. The flexible sole reinforced this impression. Also very good that the insole can be taken out - then you can dry them or replace them. These are my first Geox and the "breathing effect" is now not so hot as expected. At least I did not like in previous shoes after a few hours on the job, the need to take them off. At the water resistance I can not say anything yet. I would buy the shoe again, possibly in a different optics - because of the variety. The price of 85 euros I find appropriate. Addendum: Had to test enough opportunity to the shoes in the wet in May - and they have passed. I'm not just gone through puddles, but normal ranges indicated. No trace of water in the shoe. Subber!
