The shoes have one big disadvantage – the sole is very flat, it wears out quickly and is slippery on wet tiles, e.g. in shops. Apart from that, the shoes are great – very durable, excellent lacing, the high and solid upper has protected my ankles many times while walking in the mountains and forests. Ideal for summer, they are indeed breathable. I recommend buying a good, breathable orthopaedic insole. I've already worn out two pairs over about seven years, I do a lot of walking. On the right side, you can see the older shoes, which I wore continuously for three years.

Camouflage US Desert (3 Color Desert)
US Desert, also known as 3 Color Desert, is a desert camouflage pattern developed as a successor to 6 Color Desert Pattern. It was created in 1990 and officially introduced in 1992 for operations in the Middle East. The pattern is based on three colors: beige, pale green, and brown, which allowed for a simplification of the micro-pattern and a reduction in contrast compared to its predecessor. This color scheme proved to be more effective in arid, sandy environments, while also better at dealing with the problem of fabric overheating. This camouflage was widely used by the US armed forces, including during the Desert Storm operation, as well as in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The shoes have just arrived and look very good. How well they perform at work will become clear over time, I have to wear them a bit. The insole seems to be not very absorbent and hard, but we will see later. Size is consistent with the chart – my foot is 27 cm long and I chose size 42, which fits perfectly, even with a little extra room. Even with a thicker, green ZSU sock, they are suitable.
