Today my new made to order Heschung Crocus shoes arrived. Since I live in the Pacific Northwest where it often rains, the Heschung Crocus has been my favorite waterproof shoes to wear for many years now. They have a fairly generous fit that can accommodate a full length orthotic up to 3mm thick at the ball and toe, even though they don't have a removable innersole. They are a good choice for someone who needs a shoe that is wider fitting at the ball, but narrower at the heel. Because of the reverse welt, and the Suportlo leather upper, these shoes are waterproof, yet still breath quite well. I have found that most other waterproof footwear, especially the type that is made with Gore-Tex, or other synthetic fibers in the upper lining, or in the footbed, are just too hot for me to wear.
These shoes have a leather innersole, and are extremely comfortable. Some of the comfort of these shoes is due to the reverse welt, which make them more flexible than a similar shoe with a Goodyear welt.
These shoes are typically made in only black and dark brown. I asked Heschung if they would make up a pair for me in Cognac, and they agreed. The made to order option does increase the price by 50% of the cost of their ready to wear Crocus shoe. However, they do include free shipping, and lasted shoe trees. They also stamp the buyer's initials on the underside of the tongue.
