I have my eye on Aetrex shoes for quite some time, but they tend to be priced out of my range. As always, Amazon reduces the prices when their stock gets low, and I took advantage. I got the shoes for less than half price, and they are more than I'd hoped for. The shoes felt like old friends right out of the box. I will update my review after having a few good walks in them. They are a bit clunky in appearance but comfort trumps everything at the end of a long day.
