Geox Men's U Moner W 2Fit D Boat Shoe

Came as wanted

I have been wearing these shoes for about 8 years now, and here's the scoop.Quality:They are extremely durable, I do ALOT of walking in these, and on several different types of surfaces-asphalt, cement, brick, uneven stone, you name it! I wear them all day, every day, and they are the only shoes that last me for more than 6 months (except for ECCO). On average I will buy a new pair after a year and a half to 2 years, and I still hold on to them after that as a spare!Comfort/Support:It is amazing how comfortable and supportive these shoes are, especially for a moccasin! I have had other loafers that were pretty much glorified slippers, less comfortable and absolutely no comparison in the support. On an average day, including approximately 1 hour of walking and 3-4 hours of being on my feet, I will have no foot issues at the end of the day (just tired legs!)Ventilation:These shoes are specially designed with a unique ventilation system that keeps your feet dry. I suffered for years with foot issues related to sweaty feet. Odor eaters insoles helped a little, but I still had athlete's foot and foot odor issues on a regular basis. With these shoes, my problems have literally dissapeared, and I don't even need the odor eaters! One important heads up, the ventilation holes are not waterproof. If you're just walking on wet ground after a rain you should be alright, but once you start stepping in puddles the water will eventually seep thru. (I also change out of them before I mop the floor)Style:I personally love the look of these shoes! They are casual enough to wear everyday, and formal enough to wear to pretty much any formal event. They have a sleek tapered look, and the penny loafer design adds a subtle taste to the shoe; not too plain, not too much.Fit:If the shoe fits... There's really not too much to say about the fit. It's a well designed shoe that comes in multiple sizes and fit variations, once you find your size and fit you'll be happy with it. It also comes with a removable insole for a wider fit. I personally wear it with the insole, and I believe it also improves the support of the shoe.All in all it's a great shoe, and the main pro's over comparable durable shoes are the ventilation system and style.
