I love these shoes so much! They're outdoor shoes that look so good, and the BOA adjustment is super convenient. They're definitely worth buying.

Combining good looks and practicality, black is a versatile color, perfect for trendy outdoor activities.

Comfortable to wear, love to wear, wear every day

I used these shoes for four months in four different countries : France, Ireland, Canada and Hawaii.
As an exploration documentary filmmaker, I put them through some pretty demanding conditions. Here is my detailed review, in the hope that it may be useful to others and perhaps help improve a future version of the model.

PROS
-Very comfortable. They require no breaking in. They feel light on your feet, and I never experienced any pain at the end of the day, which is something I often struggle with in other shoes.
-They provide good support. The BOA system is excellent.
-So far, they have proved genuinely waterproof, more so than many other Gore-Tex shoes I have owned.
-They make you feel well protected.
-They perform well dynamically. I have used them on many different types of terrain, and they have always responded well.
-The sole is large and stable.

CONS
-The design seems to prioritise appearance over practicality. I do not find them particularly attractive, but that is not really an issue, they are work shoes. HOWEVER, in my opinion, the outsole is particularly poorly designed. It has all sorts of unnecessary curves and protruding sections. Besides the fact that the shoes could be even lighter and much more precise without these superfluous pieces of rubber, the effect in muddy conditions is immediate: mud sticks to every part of the shoe, and you end up carrying three times as much of it as everyone else.
The protruding section at the front, which is supposed to offer additional protection, tends to catch on rocks, potentially causing the sole to separate from the upper.
The same applies to the heel: the rear extension serves no real purpose, reduces precision and can potentially cause you to slip when walking downhill. It is a shame.
-A small pull tab at the back to help put them on would also have been a good idea.

Overall, I have felt very comfortable in these shoes. They are lightweight, comfortable, waterproof and provide good traction. But at this price, I would have expected a little more. They are only a few small improvements away from being excellent shoes, ones I would happily buy several pairs of without hesitation.
As for durability, they are holding up well so far, but I would expect nothing less after only four months. Let’s check back in two years and see how they are doing.
I would still recommend them, but at this very high price, I would not buy a second pair without a few improvements.

Did a 22km trail with some puddles and wet grass. No water got inside. Fit is secure and the tongue stays in place well.

Wore them for a rainy weekend trek on rocky paths. GTX blocked the wet and my feet stayed warm. No rubbing or blisters after.

Hiked 18km on wet muddy trails. Feet stayed completely dry crossing a few shallow streams. BOA made mid-hike adjustments easy without stopping.

The shoes are cool, and most importantly, they're super convenient, hahaha.
