Fast delivery great product
Fast delivery, great shoes. These seem to be good quality and I'm hoping they last a good while. So far nothing negative to say, but have only worn for a week in dry conditions. I am very pleased with my purchase so far and would buy again.

These shoes are exceptionally lightweight, breathable, and incredibly comfortable. The grip is fantastic, providing great traction on different surfaces. I highly recommend them!
As recommended, it's worth ordering half a size up, as they run slightly small.

I spent weeks going back and fourth on a refund issue…
I spent weeks going back and fourth with customer service trying to process a return. I paid in their portal, and they had a technical error on their end, which blocked me from getting my return label. I had to spent at least 5 back and fourth emails, which were responded by different people with new context each time, explaining to them the situation without them taking the time to read the email thread, and resolve my issue (they frequently suggested the same unsuccessful fix that the previous person suggested). They would not send my label over email, and constantly cited their provider Rebound having issues, which didn't help in advancing the case's resolution. Eventually, through a lot of dragging and pushing for up, I got the return label via email. Multiple times they said I would receive confirmation emails from the refund, but that was not the case. At the end, after a month and more, I was able to get the refund (at last). I don't have much against the product, but if you do wish to buy anything here, know that you're in it for a ride if you wish to return and get a refund.....
