| Pros |
- Got my first pair in late 2021. Brown Crossover Longwing. They were awesome. Great quality, support etc.
- Hands down the best shoes I own. Wolf & Shepherd have completely exceeded my expectations.
- Absolutely worth it for $269-289. The leather is good quality, the comfort is top, no complaints.
|
- Truly waterproof (verified by water-bead and paper-towel tests)
- Lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear
- Breathable (no sweaty feet unlike rain boots)
- Slip-resistant sole for wet conditions
- Works in all seasons and weather
|
| Cons |
- For the ridiculous price, you could easily find a real dress shoe with more comfort by getting a marked down pair of Allen Edmonds.
- The only downside is you're limited if you want to refurbish the shoes, and their resole services could be better.
|
- Water seeps in if puddle is deeper than the shoe's height
- Takes longer to dry if water enters from the top
- Not suitable for deep-water activities or severe conditions
