Need a shoe for my trip to Angkor Watt in Cambodia, Land of a thousand mines, land mine that is!! :) Use it straight out of the box. No break in period needed, Fantastico!!! Fit true to size, waterproof, sturdy, comfortable as my mattress, light as a feather, no laces problem, easy to get in and out of the shoe, tough as a bull, can even withstand the land mine i guess..... Well the last one was a joke :)
There's just one problem i realise when using it as an everyday shoe, it is slippery when walking on wet grounds though. I nearly slipped a couple of times during the rain walking on concrete around town and some marble flooring outside malls. It was ok when i was backpacking in Cambodia though. Oh yes, one more thing, it is a bit warm to use in the tropics or during summer. But it was ok for me, who is from Singapore, The Equator!! :)
All in all a very good shoe for the price i got, USD90. Go get it!!!
