I've had these shoes since May and have already worn through the rubber on the bottom. I've never had a pair of shoes only last 5 months. Not only that, the inserts smelled so bad after a couple of uses. The smell got so bad that I had to put the inserts of a two year old pair of shoes instead of the new inserts that these shoes came with. I was hoping that spending this kind of money on shoes would give me a shoe that could last a couple of years.

Got these for my boyfriend for his birthday. He is a size 14 in dress shoes and 15 in sneakers. I ordered both sizes for him and the 15 fit better. They are super cute and look really nice. He loves them!

I have only had these for a month, but they are some of the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn.

Love my new Paus. Very comfortable and never want to take them off. I found the lining in these to be much better than the leather inners you find in other mocs. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a casual, comfortable shoe.

Bought these shoes for my brother, and wow, they're good looking shoes. He wears a size 12, they appear to be true to size, and they also don't make his feet look like skis. I highly recommend these, they're both dressy enough for khakis and casual enough for jeans.

I had Loulu for a year almost every day. Now I have been wearing Pau for several weeks. My toes are very relaxed in those shoes. Both shoes have wool inertia and it helps a lot for moisture wicking. I would say wool works better for moisture wicking than small vents such as Clarks. My foots are not so wet type though. Pau has a slightly elevated heel comparing Loulu which makes more comfort when I walk (both shoes are very flat). I will buy Pau or Loulu again.

I'm very picky about shoes, and these are one of the best pairs I've ever owned. Comfort is very important, so I'm usually an Ecco/Mephisto/Keen wearer, but these are just as good, if not better in that sense. They're also very versatile for travel, going well with jeans/chinos, and even ok with a suit for more casual events. I read in other reviews that they weren't very durable, but I haven't experienced this yet.

I love the shoe. It is as I expected having purchased similar Patagonia shoes in the past. Minimal support, fairly well constructed, and a good look.

Bought these for my boyfriend who only ever wears sneakers and he loves them! He says they are one of the most comfortable pairs of shoes he has ever owned. Also, he has a size 14 foot, and he says these have a blunt enough tip that they don't make him feel like he has clown fee.

Favorite pair of shoes. They are the only shoes that I have ever had that fit like a glove the first time you put them on. I like these shoes so much, this is my 4th pair of the same shoes. I wear them all the time. They last me about a year and a half or so before they start to become worn and transition to my rough shoes. Zappos has been good about shipping quickly. My only complaint is the inconsistent pricing. As this was not my first pair, I have priced these several times. Although I did find these shoes cheaper at other online retailers, I ordered them at Zappos higher price due to previous customer service experience and expedited shipping.

Most comfortable pair of shoes I have ever worn. Great for business casual days at the office. These shoes are high quality as you would expect from Patagonia and are extremely comfortable right out of the box. They run true to size.

This is the second pair of these shoes that I have owned, and I would still be wearing the first if I hadn\'t worn multiple holes through the soles. I love these shoes because the seem to run a bit wide and they\'re incredibly comfortable. Note that I may be a bad judge of arch support, though, as I prefer flat shoes.

A perfect fit and total comfort - just like an earlier pair of Patagonia\'s I bought. They are lightweight and look fine with long pants. I\'m sold on the comfort of shoes from Patagonia and Zappos got them to me in two days.

I love this shoe - it's my first go-around with the Pau, but I've had the Maui a few times and the Honeydew as well. It's very comfortable (better cushioning than the honeydew) and looks great with jeans. I only buy Patagonia and New Balance shoes now... You won't be disappointed!

These are the most comfortable shoes that I have ever owned. I usually wear sandals all day long, but now I have shoes that are just as comfortable. I have a really wide foot with a very high arch and they are perfect. So good in fact that I am going to buy another pair.

This is an exceptionally comfortable shoe with or without socks. It is green constructed and quite zen, so I would question the durability if that is a criterion; however, I have not extensively field tested and I bought for comfort and sauntering, not marathon treks. The footbed is wide and the wool lining affords a lot of comfort with a relaxed, casual style that is unusual and the antithesis to the leather soled, "dress" shoe dinosaur that some unfortunates are still forced to wear. Patagonia also donates a percentage of their sales to grass roots environmental groups. This can benefit the cause without the sales tax and freight. My list price was lower, but now I notice it is the same as the manufacturer, so some of the Zappos incentive is removed.

Not your ordinary work shoe...
The Pau is a great shoe for work or leisure; they are also environmentally friendly. The leather is snug at first, but breaks in for a custom fit. Gum sole is comfortable, but can be slick on smooth wet surfaces. The toe box accommodates those of us with wide feet very comfortably. I like the wool insole and lining, very comfortable with or without socks, wool wicks moisture nicely so that the Pau is appropriate for warm or cool weather. Stitching is tight and construction is sturdy. Cannot speak for longevity, but I am impressed with this shoe overall.

Cool shoes. Light arch support but still pretty comfy. I prefer the dark brown color because they are very versatile.

My first try at Patagucci footwear after 2 decades of consuming their technical gear. Shoe is slipper comfortable. Wool lining makes it a bit too warm for hot days even sans socks, but great as the weather cools. Sole offers very good traction on wet surfaces. I'd consider another of their street legal offerings.

Purchased these for my husband and he really likes them - says they are quite comfortable.
I looked at many styles of shoes on Zappos.com, and ended up choosing these over a driver style for everyday wear. I figured the sole of this shoe would hold up better than the driver sole, especially if it rains!
