Expensive, but Outstanding
I love my Quoddy shoes and boots -- all of them. I have 5 or 6 pairs. I've only been unhappy with one, and I'll blame that on me.
Twelve or 13 year ago I bought a pair of Quoddy shoes and fur-lined boot that goes up over the calves (they suggest wearing it without socks!). You know what? Both are still going strong. Both are comfortable and holding up well.
In that time, my wife keeps buying new shoes. And they wear out. And I bet not nearly as comfortable. I suspect she's spent as much money on replacing her shoes that wear out as I did on my Quoddy that are still going strong. Plus, I get the comfort!
