These Earthkeepers are worth your interest if you are moving trough different environments and climates. They are not built for long walks because of thin rubber sole and a flat footbed but this can be fixed with an improved inner sole. They are big in size, choose a smaller shoenumber! They remind me of the vantage boots my ancestors used decades ago, nice look and feel! The quality seems to be good. No doubt! My new favourite traveling shoes:) Recommended.
