Wrapt Waterproof Hiking Sneaker (Women)

Love the way these shoes look and I do wear them a lot. But I will be choosy about when I wear them. I got them for a European trip where I would be in cities and on some hikes. You do have to ease into the 'barefoot' feel of the sole and thick socks help. They are not the best solution on wet city streets or wet stones along the coast. I found myself slipping on slick stone sidewalks or rocks, and feeling every brick in a cobblestone street. They work fine on a gritty trail or fairly even pavement. Twenty minutes on a walking tour in the the rain proved that they were not waterproof, as advertised. The section in front of the laces was soaked. Luckily, they dried out overnight.

I LOVE these shoes! I first came across then while being in Lübeck Germany in this little shoe shop where they had the men’s blue pair. I instantly fell in love w/ them but they did not have my size. I spent 4 days hunting down a pair. I wore them EVERYWHERE I went and my feet felt AMAZING!! When it was time to come home I was torn of I should leave them behind and order new one or buy some for when I’m home in the US. I dod the later and have zero regrets. I’m here now to buy second pairs of the ones I bought not because anything is wrong but because I want to ensure I have pairs to wear if/when they discontinue them I frrrrrreak’n love these shoes!!!
