These seem well made and attractive.  I wanted and tried to love them. Unfortunately, the shoes are very narrow and the soles are hard. My intention was to wear these for work. I'll be on my feet for 12 hours so I need a good shoe. I have a pair of Salomon Fellraisers (whhhy did they discontinue those!?) that I love and wear everwhere. I hoped these would be similar but these are not. My feet were hurting and cramping after only a few hours of wear, even when i loosened the laces. I'll be returning them and continuing my search.
