Viaduct Boat Shoe (Men)

I bought my pair 20 months ago and wanted to come back when I had accumulated a lot of kilometres to report on. First, I live in Canada, and yes, I wear these in the winter. These are my everyday shoes, and I have put them through everything like: snow, mud, rain, sand, salt/fresh water. They are still in pretty good shape, and I have only had to clean them occasionally when mud or salt builds up on them. I can honestly say that the laces are still in great shape, the sole is still in good shape, and the treads are still good, except for the high impact areas like the balls of my feet and heels. The leather has begun to get really loose and as one person review your foot kind of starts to slide laterally. I did find the leather did loosened up a bit more than expected after the first month or wear and I will buy a size down next time to compensate for that stretch. I was thoroughly impressed by the heel support when I first got them and it is still provinding good support. For example, just this past weekend I stood for 9+ at a track and field event and my feet were still good. I would highly recomment these shoes.
