I've been eyeing this item for quite some time now. I think the incoming rainy season is a good time to purchase one so I finally did. It's true that no break in is needed, I'm glad that I didn't get any blisters with this product. Although the toe allowance has some tightness feeling to it - I'm a size 7.5 so I got a size 8. But this will probably adjust more as I wear it. Thank you Rob & Mara!
My 6 months in review for Heron which I used as my primary footwear. But before we go to the product itself, I'd just like to praise the customer service of robandmaraph. I had an inconvenience with my purchase and they went an extra mile to get it resolved despite it not being their fault. Going to the product, the TL;DR is it's comfort and reliability with flare. I had no break in period, it was comfy from the get go, no blisters no nothing. I put it through the harshest public transpos of the metro, the wildest moshpits where stepping on each other's feet is the norm, I've walked kilometers and kilometers and it's still fully intact. The quality of the leather, even comfortably soft is still hard to scratch. The design style also deviates from the doc martens plague which is a huge plus for me. The cherry on top for me after 6 months is– it is indeed stitched to the sole, not just glued or cemented. I no longer have any worry or fear, I am assured I will be able to enjoy Heron for years the same way I enjoyed them for the last 6 months.
These shoes are super comfy and incredibly light! We literally walked the whole day at niagara park. Even had them wet from the cold shower of the hornblower ride. Its simply perfect for traveling and leisure walking. I couldn't be more grateful and proud of our Filipino shoe makers. Kudos to all of you!
Indeed no need for break in, used the Heron the day after I got my order, I survived the long walk and the cold weather in Osaka, thanks to my Heron in all black, thank you so much Rob and Mara for your great customer service and for creating this high quality footwear at a reasonable price.
Been eyeing this ever since I follow Rob and Mara on Instagram and finally I was able to buy it with my own money when started working. I bought it before our Japan trip and I was able to go around Hokkaido without worrying if my feet is going to get wet because of the snow. And my pictures look great because of it! Very worth it! Thank you!
