I made the purchase recently, on 26.04.07. The shoes have been used mainly on trails, and after covering about fifty kilometers over various terrain, they turn out to be comfortable, provide good protection from water, and efficiently wick away moisture, both natural and from accidental submersion due to a misjudgment of depth. So far, they seem solid and will likely serve for a long time.

The shoes are awesome, comfortable, wick moisture well and are waterproof. Tested both on the trail and in the forest, I am very satisfied, and I know they will serve me well for a long time.

Great shoes, I've been wearing them for 5 years now, I've walked hundreds of kilometers in them and nothing is breaking, nothing is falling apart, even the insole is just starting to wear out under my toes. The thick sole makes them a bit less suitable for rocks in winter, but there’s no such thing as a perfect universal shoe. On forest and muddy trails, however, they work perfectly.

Very disappointing product for such a price. After a month of use, the leather in the middle part of the shoe cracked, creating rather large holes, and the same happened near the eyelets for the laces. Additionally, the sole started to come off at the upper part. The sole is incredibly hard, but it meets the manufacturer's anti-puncture requirements.
