I bought these shoes the 1st time new, more than 3 yrs ago from a large retailer, sz 8. I am on my 3rd pair. I have difficult feet with exceptionally high arches. These shoes, for me, require NO break in period. I can work outside in the field (day job), do hair for another 3+ hours right after, be a tourist or trail explore all day and have no back, leg or foot aches/pains.
Quality is poor , the soles are falling off now. I’m just now wearing the shoes - very disappointed both pair the back of the sole bottom of the sole is coming off. Ugh
