Customer Reviews Patagonia Whino Lace

These hemp shoes are very stiff out of the box. But when they break in it's a nice comfortable shoe. My left shoe immediately started ripping along the top 1/2 inch in front of the seam that hold the saddle and laces to the shoe. I have to give a lo rating because of this.

I'm usually a 9 1/2 or 10 on this one I will probably had been a 9 but I did not try it. This is a different Patagonia shoe, very stiff and your feet do not breath at all. Looks really nice though, compliments when they arrived and I showed them up to friends. Had to returned them, was not that happy.

These are great shoes. The Patagonia aspect brings some extra toughness to the shoe. They are a size bigger than what they say however.

I bought these for my son, who has worn only skateboard shoes for the last 10 years. He loves them! A big hit in design and comfort. Mom is very happy. Thanks Zappos.

Like others recommended, I purchased these a full size smaller than normal. They fit very well. It will take a couple weeks to break them in and they may feel tight at first. After a little use they are very comfortable.

Great shoes. Very comfortable the very first time a put them on. I normally wear a "wide" but these fit just fine. I bought these shoes in a different color a couple of months ago.

These are nice shoes, just keep in mind that those other reviewers were not kidding when they said that they are larger then the marked size. I usually wear either a 10½ or an 11, so I figured a 10½ would be perfect. Wrong! The 10½ was so big enough that I felt like I was tripping over the toe portion of the shoes. I returned them and just received them in a size 10; they fit quite well.

Just to let you know how pleased I am with these great shoes all I have to say is I have three pairs. One in black, one in gray and now the hemp color. They are super comfortable and the build quality is typical Pantagonia, excellent. Because Pantagonia sometimes retires even excellent products I am thinking about buying another pair to have in reserve for the day a wear out one of the three that I have.

I've been looking for a comfortable pair of sneakers that I could walk around in all day and not kill my feet. I've worn Van's most of my life and decided to try these out. They were a little more money than a good pair of Van's, but they are now my favorite pair of shoes. I highly recommend them and will be buying more in the future.

Great shoe. I was happy ordering 1/2 size smaller than normal and these shoes do run a little big. They take a while to break in but the construction is solid and they feel like they will last a long time.

I bought these shoes for my teenage son. They became his favorite shoes. They are absolutely weightless, yet sturdy. I bought them in real size and width, so the fit is perfect and predictable. And of course having them by the door next morning after ordering online is amazing. Thanks Zappos!

Great shoes, I bought them in a 11.5 instead of a 12 because the reviews said that they run big, and so they fit quite well. They are very nice shoes overall.

The break-in time on these shoes took a bit but once they did they feel pretty amazing on the feet. Very stylish too. I got the henna flavor and have received many compliments. I have to tie these shoes a bit tighter because my heel would move around too much.

Love the shoe but they run about a full size too big, so order a size down from what you'd normally wear and you should be good.

I like these shoes. They look good, and seem well made. They aren't particularly comfortable right out of the box, the uppers are quite stiff. Maybe this is the nature of hemp. Hopefully they will break in. Second, the sole material can be incredibly slick on certain wet surfaces. Like walking on ice slick. I've stopped wearing these on rainy days.

I have to agree with the other reviews: It's sized a bit large. I normally wear a 12; decided to go with an 11.5 after trying both the 12 and the 11.5. So far no complaints with the smaller size. Also, it does take a while to break in but now they're good. So after all that I'm happy with the shoe, mostly because I think it looks good.

This shoe is beautiful. One major problem: it is HUGE. I usually wear a size 12, and so ordered a size 12 online. It is way too big, in length and width. Very disappointing.

These are very Stylish. They run large and it takes a while to break them in. Mine started ripping on the outside edge where the toe bends after two weeks of wear. I guess it was the hemp material.

I was attracted to this pair of shoes because of the darker sole. Other shoes like this have a bright white sole, which I was not looking for. The hemp upper is stiff, and takes several weeks to break in. It is longer and narrower than I was accustomed to. Even after putting in cooshy Superfeet to add arch support, these shoes offered no cushioning whatsoever. If your knees can tolerate walking barefoot, and you are happy with collapsed arches - go for it. If you need orthotics and you are a Clydesdale, like me, beware. Style and design are the highlights here - these are a very mature-looking shoe between your runners and your casuals. I really wanted to like these shoes, but they just did not suit me.

These shoes look good but the sizing is way off. I ordered a half size smaller than I usually order and the shoes are still loose.

Stylish shoe. Comfortable and wish there were more colors. I love this shoe.

I love these shoes for both styling and comfort. I ordered 1/2 size smaller than usual (9 1/2 instead of 10) and they fit great. I broke 'em in for a few days and then went to France for a month, where I did a lot of walking in these shoes every day. They remained comfortable, had great traction, and seem very durable. The slightly stiff upper is welcome because it adds to a feeling of support. I highly recommend this shoe.

This is a beautiful and well-crafted shoe. I wear a 10.5 or 11 and ordered the 10 and it fit perfectly. I typically buy Ecco brand shoes, but was looking for something more casual and the same attention to detail. I was a bit nervous knowing that this style shoe typically has thin sides and could cut into your ankle or the like, but took a chance knowing Patagonia would have a better design and they did. It's a bit heftier all around and has a nice, subtly flexible heel grab area to slide your shoe on. It's made a tad thicker than most canvas style shoes. As far as my preferences are concerned, I didn't feel like the shoe needed much breaking in upon first wearing it, but I'm sure as I own the shoe longer, it will just get that much more comfortable. I am very happy with my purchase.

A bit stiff out of the box, but wearing in well. Love the look. got 1 size smaller and fits great!

Cool shoes. Very well-made but not true to size at all. My foot is a 12.5 so I ordered the 12 and they are still big. But they are comfortable.
