Does anyone own a pair of these? Are they worth the $$?

I do and I have had them for over a year now. I got my natural-colored oxfords here. (http://www.rawganique.com/FootwearOxford.htm) I love them and they are very durable; much more so than any other shoes I've bought that I have had to wear everyday. The one thing about them that I had trouble with was the flat shoelaces not wearing long and breaking too quickly. The round ones I bought from the same company last year are still going strong with no sign of fraying. I don't know if they have changed that, though the pic certainly looks like they have, so maybe they got some complaints.

Still, I would highly recommend this brand of shoe; I think they make one of the best quality shoes on the market. They do have a break-in period of one to two weeks, but after that you will find them very comfortable both for standing long hours and for general wear throughout the day. So, very much worth the money :yes:

Thank you for replying. Do they fit true to size?

I'm trying to remember. I wear an eleven, and I think that's the size I bought. I know at first it was snug across the top but there was plenty of room for my toes. The snugness went away as the fabric stretched a little but I still have to wear thinner socks than I normally would, but I would really call such thinner socks "normal" for most people. I tend to get cold feet (literally) so I like warmer (i.e., thicker) socks :)

Still, the hemp shoes, whether Ecolution brand or not, are going to be far more durable than discount store shoes, so in the long run, you'll pay about the same and only wear out one pair of shoes instead of three (or more...)

I had never bought shoes online before (not getting to "try them on" and so forth) so it was a new experience for me. I liked the results, so now I recommend these shoes :)

Let me know if you need any more info.

Rawganique is a bit pricey compared with others. For Ecolution hemp shoes you might want to check out TheVegetarianSite.com. They tend to have lower prices and, more importantly, they donate 10% of sales to animal rights groups.
