About this research

We compare owner feedback, written and video reviews, and maker information. Findings describe the named models and versions. Reviews on a maker’s own site help identify things to check; they carry less weight than independent experience.

Across 2 of the 2 models we hold, 11 of 18 reviewer verdicts recommend the shoe; 7 against.

Rating evidence. Overall review score 5.4/10. 2 of 2 catalogued models rated, each with equal weight; 18 distinct identified authors.

Sizing reports for 2 of the 2 models we hold. We describe how a pair fits, rather than choosing a size for you.

Materials can vary between versions. Time already worn describes those pairs, rather than the lifespan of a new pair; appearance and damage may come from different reports.

Current prices from the maker’s US pages. Model pages show the dates; prices may have changed.
