There is still World Heritage clay in the footbed of these shoes.

I was on a business trip to Jordan, and hadn't brought hiking shoes/boots with me, so I just walked/hiked Petra wearing these shoes.

They get worn out looking in the front (they hit the ground at least how I walk) so I've had them polished by a cobbler.

I will say this--I bought these when Gentle Souls were brand new. I have since bought more GSs and the quality has suffered.
