I can only say they look a bargain for the price.<br />I am one who doesn’t like membrane shoes/boots if being honest, because what goes in stays in. Above anything else they tend to smell worse than non membrane shoes/boots.<br />I wear Gore-Tex socks which can be washed out regularly and keep the feet dry all the time whereas even with membrane shoes if water goes over the top you still get wet feet.<br />It’s good that they dry out fast, my Inov-8’s usually take about 12 hrs after a soaking to dry properly. (Without a warcry) but maybe one or two Halleluja’s for effect.AlanRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180571503542781921noreply@blogger.com
