CUSHE MATTHIAS WP<\/h1>\n

\"Cushe<\/a><\/p>\n

I had previously tested the Cushe Dawn Patrol<\/a> slip-on shoes and was favorably impressed.\u00a0 Must be something in the Cushe DNA, because these were every bit as comfortable and easy to wear. The Cushe Matthias WP model is a high-top, waterproof suede boot that comes in one of three colorways \u2013 Tan, Grey and Dark Grey. I tried the tan pair recently and the boots came with two pairs of laces included \u2013 one red and one tan.<\/p>\n

One of the coolest features is the side zipper that lets you slip the shoe on or off without untying the laces.\u00a0 For a child, that\u2019s certainly helpful, but adults, parents and grandparents are going to like this as well. There\u2019s even a little fold of leather at the top of the zipper \u2013 a zipper garage? \u2013 that keeps you from feeling the top of the zipper on the side of your leg.<\/p>\n

\"Cushe<\/a><\/p>\n

The boots are thermal fleece-lined, so as you would expect, they are very comfortable to wear.\u00a0 While we haven\u2019t had any really cold weather yet, I would fully expect them to be warm in winter\u2019s cold temperatures.<\/p>\n

I was also impressed with the white soles on the shoe.\u00a0 Not only looking cool, they give good traction whether wearing them for walking or hiking. I felt very lucky finding a boot, that looks so good, is lightweight and waterproof all at the same time.<\/p>\n

The Matthias boots come in whole sizes from 7 to 13. I found them to be very true to the size I expected.<\/p>\n
