KIVI 2

Not as expected

I guess you can’t win them all. They sent me one pair that showed obvious wear and gave me the assumption that they were a return from someone else but did send another pair and proved their good customer service but my second pair still is not impressive. I work in the food and beverage industry as a Chef who is on my feet for 8-10 hours a day and have used these shoes for over two weeks now and am not impressed. The soles and inner pads are very stiff without cushiony feeling in my opinion. My feet still hurt in the same manner. The outer leather area creases quickly and shows wear fast and the x stitching that is supposed to be an extra protection for the inner stitching has come apart. They also run as a much larger shoe than most and feel much larger than the size I use from past shoes. They might work for some but I can’t say I love them.

Maybe I should see a Podiatrist

I got these *very expensive* shoes for my new job to replace my old ones which were falling apart and not allowed at this nice restaurant I work at. I was okay with investing in my future this way and understanding that sometimes these things take a minute to break in. It’s been 2 months of me wearing the shoes and my feel horribly ache by hour number 5. Today was my first double shift working there and by the 7th hour on my feet, it was nearly unbearable. I can’t have this at a job where I’m trying to make a good impression as the newbie. This is far beyond the acceptable break in period. Otherwise, they are very sturdy, easy to keep clean, and I like the slip on and off business. I wish I have never spent this much money on shoes that forsake me though. It’s just awful and it makes me mad at myself.

Best shoe ever!

Wish I would have made the plunge to buy better quality shoes sooner. These shoes have made my foot pain almost disappear after a long shift at work. I work in food service which consists of walking and standing. Even though it’s only been a few weeks since I’ve started wearing them, I do feel a difference in my foot pain. Quality of the shoes seems decent. Hopefully they will last a long time. I’m very pleased with my purchase.
