Nice, waterproof shoes for wet or muddy conditions, when you don't need high-top boots. These are basic, no-frills shoes without much cushioning, but the soft rubber sole has an aggressive tread and the shoes seem sturdy and durable. They are easy to slip on and off. I've added higher-arch insoles (for my plantar fasciaitis), and have been wearing them daily, as my regular, everyday shoes. They fit a bit loose, and are not quite as comfy as some of my other shoes, but I live in a wet climate (Southeast Alaska) where they work perfectly. Shipping from the UK was surprisingly fast, and free.
