The shoe is awesome from the fit ago, fits like a glove, shrink was not necessary. Water resistance and breathability is given. Unfortunately, the sole wears out very quickly, now seems to be normal at JW. Have the shoes for a month almost daily when I go for a walk with my dog in the woods and carried on two longer (depending 17km) hikes in resin. The profile has among the bales only a depth of 1 mm, for hiking on trails that enough def. no longer sufficient. If things continue at the pace is the sole gone soon, as happened already in an elderly shoe of JW. Too bad, otherwise a Super shoe, but surely my last of JW.
