Sharing my experience about hiking brand Roa’s Katharina shoes for 8 months.
I wore Roa Katharina for almost 8 months, so I can share my experience on my blog.
As soon as I got ROA shoebox, I said ‘”Wow this box is really cool”
I was supposed to buy sand color, but bought black color.
Cuz I though Sand color is also really good but black one looks more tough and cool for me.
As you know, this thick Vibram outsole looks very sturdy.
And also I like Roa logo and also Vibram logo.
Black and yellow seem to go well together.
The string is hidden inside.
Maybe the straps come loose or tear while hiking so it can be prevented.
You can’t see it if you just look at it, but if you turn it a little to the side, you can see the ROA mark.
When you put them on, you can’t really see this part.
The last shoe lace is often seen on boots.
D-shaped ‘speed hook eyelet’ is used for easy tightening and loosening.
Upper made of durable nylon material.
It looks like Cordura material, but maybe not.
The tongue is padded so it is soft.
The size is written on the inner tongue (43 size).
The front and side lines are padded with rubber to enhance durability.
The heel and middle strap fastening parts appear to be made of calf leather.
By the way, I like this logo
Size tip:
1) First of all, I bought it for normal day shoes, not hiking.
2) I wear size 44size(280mm) in almost all sneakers
3) When wearing size 42, Roa Katarina was so small that it hurt my feet, and when wearing size 44, it was so big that heel slip occurred.
4) Size 43 fits perfectly, but my right foot is slightly larger, so my fourth and little toes slightly touch the shoe. (Not to the point of being uncomfortable)
I hope everyone chooses their size well and wears them beautifully!
