I recently purchased these because I love the way they look.  I've had falling arches in the past so I absolutely MUST have good arch support in the shoes I purchase.  Unfortunately most shoes with arch support that slip on are kind of ugly!  I've been in a desperate search for good looking shoes that fit my needs.

I tried on these Patagonia shoes and knew they met that criteria immediately!  So not only do they offer support but they are stylish as well! I was SOLD! I became an instant fan of Patagonia! I could see myself buying tons and tons of this brand and loving it!  GO PATAGONIA! Yay!

Then I wore these one day for a few hours on a chilly day and found my toes were freezing because my feet were sweating in these shoes!  HORROR!  I was so in love with these I wanted to CRY!  Thankfully I was only out shopping and was able to return home and change shoes part way through the day so my toes were saved!

Now I'm in a love-hate relationship with this pair.  Love the feel (initially!) and still love the look.. but HATE them after a few hours on a chilly day!  So how will my feet feel on a warmer day in these shoes?  Who knows?  I only know that I do not plan to wear them for anything other than short trips or a quick dinner or something.

So I'm very sad and disapointed but I'm NOT quite ready to give up on this brand!  If I can find another style from them (with airholes?) I think I could stick with them! :-)
