Lost my old "Ducks" during a move and could not find any locally. I have never tried to purchase shoes on line before and so I carefully read reviews and took a chance. These are great. The shoes were a bit tight to begin with but after wearing them a couple times they rapidly adjusted to my feet and now I slip them on and off every time I head out to the vegetable fields early in the morning. The shoes are well constructed and comfortable and it is no issue to walk the 1/4 mile to my back fields and work in the shoes all morning.
