OWN – only whats neccessary

I’ve had these for a while, over all I’d give them a mixed review, but what they are excellent for is wet and cold weather riding.
The outer is made from kevlar, has zero padding and can’t get wet. You get two inners, one is thicker for cold weather. I have never had cold or wet feet since I started wearing them, including 6+ hour rides in the wet. In addition because they don’t get wet they don’t need drying either, which eliminates the slow drying or glue melting issues with other shoes, and the inners dry overnight.
On the down side they are not as grippy as 5.10s, they’re not bad, but definitely not as good. One of the main reasons I bought them was durability, as highly as I rate 5.10s I tend to go through a pair in about a year. I was hopeful these would be bombproof however unfortunately part of the sole has come off the bottom of the shoe. I’m hoping they are fixable and they’re currently at a cobblers, its hard to explain but the shoe hasn’t fallen apart and is still water tight, but the grippy bit of the sole has separated so should be able to be glued back down.
If the repair holds I’ll get a pair of 5.10s to wear in dry conditions, hopefully prolonging both shoes’ lifespan.
