Very comfortable and good sole. However the back of the heel at the ankle wore very quickly and fraid and exposed the rubber lining. I did buy another pair but they wore at the same place after about six months. Definitely unwearable after 7 months. I would buy another if I could be sure of longer use.

Kathmandu walking shoes ; very comfortable on first use and good impact resistance for my knees.

Never regretted having purchased this shoe in 2012 cause since then it survived nothing less than a series of days in a monsoon followed by a number of long-distance hiking trips in the Italian Alps with with snow fields rough stones and what have you. Some people might argue the shoe doesn't support your ankles. However it is light and makes hiking a pleasure even though it doesn't look new any more. Which is why I ordered a new pair.

I've had a pair for 3 years. I use them as my normal day-to-day "around town" shoes, especially in wet weather. Very comfortable once broken in (I have particularly sticky-out ankle bones). These are the vegan shoes I've been looking for for the last 20 years!

I bought a pair of these a week ago, following the purchase of a pair of your walking boots just a few weeks before. They're just what I needed. Very robust build quality, and pretty weatherproof (the boots are really for the wet weather). It looks like these will stand up to heavy duty use. Great service - I will certainly recommend you, and buy from you again!

i bought my second pair of these in December, the first pair are about 5 years old and though still wearable, the soles are starting to thin so I wanted to make sure I had a replacement pair ready! I've worn them on pretty much a daily basis, including city days out, countryside hiking, coast walks and music festivals. They are really comfortable shoes and I would highly recommend them.

Great shoes, great customer service
They appear to be well made and sturdy.
I went walking in them up the Black Mountains within a week of purchase and had no problems.
Also great customer service from Ethical Wares who phoned me with a query regarding my order. A+

Excellent and very high quality!
I've been wearing these for over almost five months, and they are still in excellent condition. The soles still look brand new.
Normally I only wear trainers for the comfort, but I've never liked having to replace them each year (or two if I'm lucky) due to the soles wearing out.
So having gone from trainers to these shoes, I'm hugely impressed by how sturdy and well made the soles are on these shoes are. From now on I'll always be buying and wearing these types of shoes instead.
They are just as comfortable as trainers but also allow me to go on hikes without worrying about the conditions of the ground.
As recommended on the site, I purchased one size larger than I needed, and I'm very glad I did, they fit perfectly and I couldn't be happier with them.
I HIGHLY recommend these shoes. They are superb value for money and I've no doubt that they will last a very long time.

great shoes !
really amazing shoes, very comfortable from the start. After many years, they are still as good as new! I have been using them for the last year when I walk with shelter dogs, so they have gone throw rain, mud and worse... best walking shoes ever!

A Great Shoe
bought a pair recently, wanted a trainer type shoe for general walking, these fit the bill! Very comfortable, look good, very sturdy sole, great tread. Very pleased.
Would recommend them.
Please order in either the relevant UK or European sizes only. US/Canada customers should use this chart to select the appropriate European or UK size. The walking boots are a regular-sized fit. To accommodate thick walking socks, however, you may wish to order one size larger. Of course, if the fit is wrong we will exchange for another size.
