I purchased these
shoes for my father. Usually, I wouldn't buy any shoes without him
trying them on but I had been told that these were very true to size
and nice. My father has diabetes so he has to have shoes with thick
soles that are very supportive or his feet can be injured. Even with
his expensive shoes, we still have to check his feet daily to make
sure there was no damage. He can't feel it himself so having a shoe
that protects his feet are of the greatest importance.
I was a little
worried when I got these shoes, simply because I ordered a size
thirteen and the shoes have a twelve on the tongue of the shoe.
However, upon further investigation, they have a thirteen printed on
the heel of the shoe. It was a little confusing at first but the
important part is that, when he tried on the shoes, they fit
perfectly. The quality of these shoes is actually very impressive.
I've purchased shoes offline before and they've always seemed to be
cheaply made with very thin soles. These shoes are nothing like that.
They actually remind me of the newbalance shoes that we buy him,
which are recommended by his podiatrist, but three times as
expensive.
As you can see by my
pictures, he's worn these shoes more than once in order to thoroughly
test them. Feeling like they're very good quality is only of any
worth when they live up to it. These shoes have certainly lived up to
it! He's worn them to work, while hiking, fishing and even walking
around auctions. They've held up very well and don't show any signs
of wear even though he's been wearing them pretty much every day
since they were delivered.
Overall, these shoes
are definitely something that I would buy again. They have nice,
thick, supportive soles and are made of sturdy material. I can't say
for sure that they're waterproof but my father has never had a
problem with getting wet feet, even when walking outside in the rain.
They are extremely comfortable and seem like they will last for a
good amount of time. If they do end up falling apart, I will
definitely update this review! However, I will definitely recommend
them! They're great quality for a very affordable price!
