“I took a chance on Cygnet, not my usual style of shoe but I was after a more casual look for summer and with proper foot and arch support. I was able to get my hands on the imperfect batch and the dye discolouration was minimal and barely noticeable once on my feet. I was so stoked with them I took them to my next podiatry appointment and got the nod of approval - not that I wouldn’t have kept them if the reaction was the opposite.”
