Mont-Bell Sawer Shoes Used about twice. They didn't slip, and I could walk with confidence. The size feels like your usual shoe size, or maybe 0.5cm larger if you wear socks. If you're unsure, I recommend trying them on at Mont-Bell. There is no box, so I will ship them in a cardboard box. Specifications: Material: (Upper) Clima-Prene® [4mm thick chloroprene rubber <double-sided jersey>] (Sole) Polypropylene felt Color: Blue (OBL/G) Size: 29.0cm (in 1cm increments) Retail Price: ¥9500 These are river-climbing shoes made by incorporating Mont-Bell's unique ideas into traditional work boots and straw sandals. Like straw sandals, the laces can be pulled from the heel side, achieving an outstanding fit. The toe area is split like tabi socks, making it less likely for your foot to slip and providing a comfortable fit. Also, the ankle area uses soft, highly fitting Clima-Prene® [chloroprene rubber], which does not restrict ankle movement during river ascent and prevents sand and small stones from entering. The outsole uses durable polypropylene felt.
