If you want a shoe that sounds like you're farting into a leather couch with every step you take, then this is the shoe for you. I tried to wait 2+ weeks before writing a review on these shows hoping that the sound would wear out, but alas, everywhere you walk, squeak fart, squeak fart. Don't get me wrong, I purchased these shoes as a replacement for my last pair of Timberlands that wore out way too fast, and these were half the price. A great affordable waterproof hiking shoe, but if you had any hopes of walking around the shop without getting weird looks from your co-workers, or trying to track a deer without making sound, think again.
