this is the first pair of "Josef Seibel shoes" that my husband bought, namely after reading all recessions, and I think it will certainly not be the last pair. There are really very comfortable and perfectly processed shoes. My husband runs the whole day around in it, (and that's saying something!) The Velcro is very convenient, the heel height (1.5 cm) ideal. The only negative from my point of view here is the leather of the upper. It is "matte black" and looks more like anthracite. The shoes do not look good in a pair of black trousers, however, ideal for gray and of course jeans. Due to the matte color, I can not give only 4 points.
