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
