Prior to this I purchased the Men's Manawan Slipper, and was impressed immediately how comfortable they felt. I've had those for about a year now, and they've even stood up to snow and salt (although I rarely end up walking around outside with them) and since, have proven to be some of my best slippers.
Then when I noticed online that they offered other products, I was alittle timid to just buy without trying on. But I got this shoe on sale (75% off!) and took a risk.
And I am EXTREMELY satisfied with the quality!
Review:
-The leather is really nicely tanned and worked, so it's extremely comfortable and tough at the same time.
-The tips of the shoe (as viewable in the pics) have a bit of a coating I presume to help against water damage... which is useful. Although any time my boots have gotten water drenched, they did a good job of keeping my socks dry.
-The combination of soft leather but stiff construction has so far made the boots extremely comfortable to wear. I can wear them for about 12 hours before I start to get antsy to switch shoes or just go barefoot.
-The back side of the boot has a rubber grill which seems unusual, but might be for supporting the heal from being crunched and worn out.
On another note, there's a design feature which looks absolutely stunning but seems alittle ill-planned. On the underside where the heal is, and between the two treads, there's a very nicely tanned "Sorel" logo, emblazoned on what arguably is the best looking stiffened leather on the whole boot. But the downside is that for how nice it looked originally, i scuffed up this from regular wear and tear, and the logo is completely wiped off and the leather looks terrible. I'm not sure why they made such an invisible part of the boot look so fantastic only to become destroyed.
EXCELLENT BRAND THOUGH! HIGHEST QUALITY I COULD GET FOR SUCH A GREAT PRICE!
