Power Men Sport Oxford Shoes - Olive

Very nice And mooth

This IS a running shoe with a thin layer of nubock leather instead of gor tex or whatever synthetic layer regular sports shoes use. Thats the only difference. If you think of using is as formal shoe or expecting to last long like Woodland 777 shoe then its not true. I personally felt betrayed from Woodland as they changed the quality of material of woodland 777 shoe to make its life limited. I have used woodland 777 sneakers 25 yrs. bought total 2 pairs only so far...woodland shoes used to be made to last....now they have adopted made with limited life....they removed cushion padding, used thin leather, downgraded stitchwork and gluework quality etc. so i started searching for a shoe that would be similar to woodlad in comfort dept at least. After few models i found this Power shoe. I immediately ordered it. Now the review. Pros: 1. Its a geniune nubock leather shoe. 2. Fitting is perfrct as per UK Size chart, no need to buy one size larger or smaller. 3. Sole is glued perfectly. 4. Sponge cushioning is perfect, not too thick (which could have added advantage in terms of comfort and life expectancy) but not too thin...just perfect enough. 5. Good option for using it in winter, as 100% nubock leather with no air gaping net used prevents cold from entering inside the shoe. 6. Best for gym use sp. for weight lifting, cycling, treadmill etc. (although many gyms dont allow leather shoes inside their premises) Cons.: 1. If your feet is square, fitting might be a bit uncomfortable as it might squeeze your fingers a bit. Its designed for slimmer and longer feet than square feet that has more width. They should increase the width by 1cm to make it a fit for all. 2. Except for the sole, glue and stitch work is not that great...esp. the area where there are shoelace holes, that area is not thick / hard enough so it will not last long if you tie-untie your shoes 2-3 times daily.. 3. Instead of adding extra thick (but hollow from inside) rubber sole at the bottom of ankle,they should have kept the uniform thickness just like woodland 777 shoe. 4. Because of thick rubber bottom below ankles shoe is not springy. Some springiness is usually required for great cushioning feel while morning walk or running. 5. Thick socks will make you feel shoe tighter...but ordering one size bigger will give you a loose shoe for a thick sock...so order only the right size. 6. Shoelace is of very poor quality. You need to buy a good quality cotton shoelace. 7. This shoe, dspite made from nubock leather wont last for ages like woodland 777 (avg. woodland shoe lasts for 5+ yrs if used daily...in my case lasted for10+ yrs)...this will last for 1-2 yrs max.because nubock leather is very thin, and before leather torns apart, glue work and stitching work will faulter. You will need to buy nubock spray to keep leather from degrading. its available in woodland showroom for 60/- lasts for 4 months if used once a week. Although not a con per se, i got shoe directly in the power's original box which has a very thin cardbord....as it tore completely from all sides during the shipping and i think cello taping was applied during the transit, one shoe was completely exposed open when deliveryboy handed it to me. at least a plastic sealed bag should be a great thing to add. Bottomline is, dont expect astronomical from the shoe, its a regular running shoe and will last for an year or two. For 1200/- (as compared to 2500/- of woodland in discounted price) its a good deal. Some people get it for 990/- also (but mostly its a returned shoe from the first customer).

Nice shoes

Worst product. Made to return but intentionally delayed till the cut off date.

Worth buying it, comfort and it's light weight.

Very nice 👍

Good for the price

👌Good fited grips in foot with comfortness and no doubt it is good quality heavy duty shoe from Bata products as Power in perfect.
