Great shoe for the medical world - First
off, Zappos is amazing. I ordered this shoe at 7pm and got
it by 12noon the next day (with free shipping!). This shoe
is awesome. I am a medical student with apparently horrible
feet seeing as I have had to buy about 10 pairs of shoes to
find one I can stand all day in without getting blisters and
dying of pain by the end of the day. I overpronate and have
patellofemoral instability which causes foot and knee pain.
So far, so good with these shoes. I was confused on what
leather to get, so I called customer service. They said, the
box leather is more stiff leather and more "utilitarian".
Although, if it scratches, it scratches to white, whereas
the Cabrio is black throughout and will hide scratches
better. If you use acidic cleaners and are planning on
spilling them, the box leather might be better though. With
the black color though, the Wide pro is nicer looking and
will stand up to blood, urine, or other things that might
get on them. Now although I don't have experience with the
oiled leather - the nice lady said blood is more likely to
saturate into that leather. Hope this info helps some other
people, too.
On my feet in the ER for 12 hours at a time. These shoes
were snug fitting initially but are loosening up nicely. I
have already scuffed them several times but the marks rub
out easily because of finish. The only thing I've noticed is
that my big toes get numb after wearing them too many days
in a row?? I'm thinking of having the toe box stretched to
see if that helps. Overall, a great shoe, very well made. |
