People sleep on these because of the color. They appear bright orange on screen, but are very muted and easy to pair with jeans, joggers, khakis, etc. The quality of the panels, the stitching, and materials are amazing. They fit true to size, are a little snug, but feel very light and easy to wear. After a few hours of wearing them, I felt my feet slightly warmer than usual. This may be due to the tongue being sewn into the side panels along the lace area. This will be fantastic during the colder months, but tough during hot summer days. After wearing a few times, I feel they have a bit of stain repellent that has kept them clean. I don’t know how long the GoreTex coating will last though. The price are climbing on these, so if you are wondering what to do, go ahead and get them now before the price goes astronomically high. Enjoy!
