Grisport Unisex Modena Waterproof Hiking Shoes for Men & Women - Lightweight Trekking Boots for Outdoor Adventures & Mountain Trails

This is the 2nd pair that I have had, the first ones lasting from 2010 and having walked many miles in them. Good construction on the previous pair with the soles only going now.The shoes are wide fitting, which they need to be to accommodate walking socks and to be comfortable if walking fair distances, and with me having narrow ankles and a low ankle bone, I find that I need to fit heel grips and leather insoles. (This I have to do often anyway.) The grip is good.They are, however walking shoes for general walking and hiking without ankle support given by boots.To preserve their life I waterproof them before first wearing and then from time to time.I am pleased to see that, over five years since I bought my first pair, which I got because I was looking for shoes that would double as being smart enough for general wear and toughish walking (and to save having to take a further pair of shoes due to airline weight restrictions) and they are good enough for both. I am pleased also that they come in size 6 (UK) which for men I have found difficult to get for walking shoes.If my new pair, which I have worn only once at the time of writing, are as robust and comfortable as the first pair that I bought - and I have no reason to suppose that they are not - then I shall be more than pleased.I was pleased ágain that I was able to buy them through Amazon at a very reasonable price - I noticed that they are more expensive on other sites - so it's worth looking around before buying.A note to the manufacturers: Keep on making them please! You are on to a winner! Grisport Unisex Modena Hiking Shoe Brown CMG036 6 UK
