This is my first pair of this style , they are comfortable but they do NOT have good traction on wet surfaces as advertised . These shoes are simply the best I have worn in many many years. It is a bit noisy, but nothing that a loud radio or a wind deflector cant fix. I love the ergonomics design. The most comfortable sandals I?ve worn in a while! I wear the biggest size of baseball caps and these fit perfect. So happy with these, Ill be ordering them for the rest of my Loubs! Then, the ENTIRE left ear cuff stops working. No soldering was involved. So plush and comfortable!
