        I was in the market for a new pair of dress casual shoes. I have a pair of J Crew welted oxfords and the leather is garbage and cracking after 1 year and a half, and they are not comfortable.

        I started my research and came across Samuel Hubbard brand. I hadn't heard of them before, but the origin tugged at my heart strings as they are designed in (whatever that means) Mill Valley, CA, which is where Allie and I vacationed in Feb. 2020 just before the pandemic hit. Made in Portugal.

        These are called the "Dress Fast". They are welted and have a Vibram outsole, glove leather lining and are comfy as heck on first wear.

              @Giles you shocked me.  Why did you switch from the Scarpa’s ?

                I have not switched, still have a few of pairs, in suede and canvas (for wading when in shorts)…..

                But, I really rate my Bestard wading boots - I mean REALLY rate, so I thought I would try out some of their approach shoes.

                The wading boots are so comfortable, supportive and grippy, I can use them as hikers on the way to remote fishing locations.....And for the first time ever, I have a pair of waders that have a gravel guard that actually works

                  That is really good info and much appreciated!  I do laugh a little at the name of the brand (Besterds) though.  My auto correct keeps changing it on me and telling me I’m spelling it wrong.  🙂

                    (actually part of the reason I buy them 🙂 )

                    And most of my mates who wade, have migrated to Bestards - probably in the vain hope that I will shut the fuck up about how fucking amazing they are….....

                    I have had this pair for over a year, and they look almost like new.  I can get through a pair of "other well-known brands" in less than 12 months of hard use....

                    They're actually sold as "Search and Rescue" boots, not wading boots.

                    I have upgraded my with the addition of tungsten wading studs to help me on slimy rocks....

                      Not trying to create any FUD about a favorite brand… But I am glad I finally got these awful fucking liners out of my Zerrows Sandals. They came unglued almost immediately and it made them so uncomfortable. But I've been thoroughly beating the shit out of them doing some remodeling and the finally came all the way unglued. Well, the one did and the other I ripped the fuck out with a pair of pliers. They are nice and comfy now. If you go and get a pair of request no liners. IDK why they are even in there. If I had to do it all over I'd ask for a sewn in leather liner the same size as the entire toe cap...

                                      @ZackB I've got a bunch of XERO shoes and sandals (CO company). I really like the "360" modeI. I didn't need another pair ... but this color looks pretty cool. My NB Salehe purple "Colors Be The Palette" order was cancelled so I needed to make myself feel better lmao (and my feet respond really well to the barefoot style).

                                      edit: I'll add that they have a current deal where you buy a pair of shoes and get a pair of sandals for $20

                                        @anodyne Hell yeah man, I have a pair of 360s for working out and the genesis sandal. Have you ever tried lems or vivobarefoot? I have a couple pairs of those too and they’re really good too. I will say that xero has a good price point compared to vivobarefoot especially.

                                          @ZackB I have a pair of Lems Boulder boots and their Kourt Grips. I have not tried Vivobarefoot, but the reviews looks good. XERO's prices have gone up, but that's pretty much everything these days. I certainly didn't need another pair of shoes but I do like the color lol ... we'll see if the HFS II fits as well as the 360 I guess.
