Lloyd Ft. Yung Melody - Lay It Down (Remix) reviews

Lloyd Ft. Yung Melody I LOVE THESE SHOES!!, September 7, 2011 By Alice Tsoodle "Mom" (Colorado) - See all my reviews(REAL NAME) I bought these for my clumsy boy. He was hating school last year because he was always falling and couldn't run as fast as the other kids. This summer he mentioned that he can run faster barefoot so I grudgingly decided to give these a try. They're so expensive! So far, they have made a world of difference for his self esteem and will hopefully cut down on the awful hip bruises he was coming home with. I LOVE THESE SHOES! THEY ARE SO WORTH THE MONEY!

I was somewhat confused about what the "ion-mask" shoe really was. Is it water proof? The answer is no. It is highly water repellent. Most of the time your feet stay dry because these shoes repel water. The advantage of this technology is the shoe is way more breathable than something like GoreTex, because there is no membrane just breathable mesh. The disadvantage is that if you really get the shoe wet - as in crossing a stream where part of the shoe is actually under water - your feet will get wet. These shoes are great if you want a very breathable shoe for damp conditions, they are not great if you are counting on them to be waterproof.I need a wide toe box and found these shoes fit very well and were very comfortable. They might run a little big. The sole is not as stiff as a hiking shoe, more like a trail shoe, so may not be the best choice on rough terrain, but is very comfortable. My big problem with this shoe (other than the confusing claims made about how waterproof it is) is its durability. Mine lasted less than six months until the sole separated from the shoe. The shoes also looked pretty worn by that point. The fabric on the inside of the heels was badly frayed and some of the fabric on the outside had ripped. I could understand this if I wore them in rugged conditions, but I mostly wore them around town. Anyway, I replaced them with a pair of GoreTex shoes. My feet are hotter but I need a shoe that will stay dry in all conditions.

Lloyd Ft. Yung Melody Best boots for fall or anytime! Really versatile and comfortable once you break them in. I would recommend them to anyone.Frye boots in general are awesome but these are classic and will never go out of style.
