I Am ony recomending this shoe because it does work and there is nothing else out there for someone with a larger foot. You would think that a company like Palm and or Merill would know by now that you don't sew a pull tab into the neopreme!!!!!!!!!!!!!! especially when there is beefier materal right there!!! ARE YOU KIDDING!! Started ripping the 2nd day, no shit. A hole developed between the top 2 stitches. Now both rears are in shambles. Trying to replace them from the USA, where they are not sold would have been a major hassel...
