I wear the shoe now for about a 3/4 year and do some hiking with him. First the good qualities: The seat is perfect and enjoyable for me. Also 20 km no blistering. 100% waterproof. What is, however, might seam that separates the black after a short useful life of the gray sole game. That should not happen with a Timberland shoe. I was expecting a useful life of approximately 2 years. Without a special glue for shoes soles would (with low usage 2 walks) no longer be used after 6 months, since large parts of the soles stand out.
