I wear this (black) shoes now half a year in everyday jeans. After I learned on an English website on demand by e-mail that I can replace the original insoles against my orthopedic, I bought it. Convenient, durable, waterproof, non-slip, stable stand. They were very helpful in reducing the pain (arthritis) of the knee. Price-performance ratio, compared with similar shoes from other manufacturers, very good. Thickness (but not too stiff) abrasion resistant soles; very stable metal eyelets for laces (even with more expensive brands, there is often only textile loops or plastic eyelets, the fast times to tear when it is pulled.); Shock-toe with raised soles; comfortable padding around the ankle, heel and clamping; optionally in brown or black; enough room in the forefoot. I would buy again absolutely!
