Also an underappreciated fact is that many shoes just get more comfortable the longer you wear them for, these shoes in their current state are the most comfy shoes i have ever worn in my life, and just keep getting more comfy with every passing day.
I wouldn't recommend wearing them if its wet outside though,, and they are a death sentence when on ice or slippery rocks.
