Good shoes for my feet

Unfortunately the sizing of the boots were off and I need to return for an exchange. I will write back to explain how that goes.

A slightly wider last than a basic shoe. Excellent fit. Light and comfortable to walk on, warm and breathes well, the water resistance was also found to be functional. Slightly slippery sole on some wet surfaces.

I have only worn the hiking boots once but we’re quite comfortable and offered great ankle support.

These shoes are a model that I have been wearing for about 13 years on a daily basis, whether in town or in the mountains, for their comfort of use. They last on average 2 years each time with my usual walking pace (between 4 and 10km per day in brisk walking). The last pair suffered faster breakdown with peeling off at the lateral edges of the ball of the foot, near the toes. No loss of waterproofness for the moment (no wet feet in the rain. Nevertheless, I put them to the test this summer with a month of more pronounced use (about 30km per day in the mountains with downhill running phases therefore greater bending stresses.) We will see what this new pair does.

The booties are ok, the length of the stem is enough to protect the ankle and it's reasonably light to walk. The downsides are slippery straps that loosen when walking and slippery soles in winter weather. Edit: After 3 months of use, water gets into Molenpi's shoes. First it started leaking from the edges of the insole near the heel. And now just standing in the rain gets your socks soaking wet even without stepping in a puddle, so it seems to leak from the flap as well. No further.

Have only tried them once so far, but straight out the box they are a pleassure to wear.

Good shoes - the insoles already on the shoe are a bit short / it moves easily to the back, probably leaving the toes without an insole.

Good and sturdy shoes, you should take a size bigger than you normally wear.

Only with the onset of cold weather can you appreciate and enjoy high-quality boots. here I recall the verse - "The cold snuck in on the way. At the scarecrow of a bird, or something, Ask for sleeves in debt?" (Matsuo Basho, 17th century.)
