Reebok Men's Ex-o-fit Hi Sneaker 9.5 Int/Black/Charcoal

I bought these initially in the USA with a heavy duty sole (don't see it as an option any more but it really was great) in the mid 90s for one of my kids but ended up wearing them myself. I'm a lady and have tried the ladies version but prefer to wear the men's style in these. I haven't found anything else to better them.

I stumbled upon these back in the 1980s when it was hard to find "trainers" in size 13 let alone all black high tops. After trying them I was sold! I have been wearing them as my primary footwear, for my entire adult life thus far. I have never found anything to compare with the comfort, light weight and yet still combined with the strength and durability they offer. The quick and easy fit, on or off in seconds but always secure is in my experience a unique combination. Hiking on moors in the summer to stalking wildlife (for photography) in silence in the woods all year round to still looking ok with a suit in London they are just brilliant anywhere. On my feet on occasion for 14 hours solid, is only possible with comfort with these. I have several pairs graded from best down to work & gardening (as they eventually wear). The soles eventually will wear through after a year or more of constant/ hard use. I have never experienced failure of stitching or Velcro with any of them over the years. My only criticism of another wise floorless product (in my opinion), is that the soles can be slippery on smooth surfaces in the wet. But overall I expect I have worn these for more miles & over more terrains during the last 30 years than possibly anyone else out there? As long as they continue in production I will be using them!
