Pleasantly surprised Hobibear customer!
I've owned two pairs of Hobibear shoes, canvas pumps and waterproof mid height boots. I've found both very comfortable and far more competitively priced than other brands of equal quality. While not 100% waterproof (I felt this an ambitious claim on purchase) I was pleasantly most surprised with them and unless submerged to a very good job at keeping my feet dry. I wear them all the time and walk alot for work. The soles have worn much better than I imagined would be the case. I appreciate there are mixed reviews and maybe this is inconsistent quality control. However I'm very happy with mine and they're at least as good as a more expensive Xero pair I've owned.
