Got a pair of Woodland G 40777 shoes before the Pushkar ride; this is my third pair of woodland shoes and is quite similar to the second pair I bought in November 2004.
Woodland G 40777 is more of a trekking shoe and due to this it is comfortable to walk around in and despite having bought it a day before my Pushkar trip; I didn’t face any trouble walking long distance with them.
Even while riding motorcycle, they are quite comfortable and in case of fall, take impact very well (had 2-3 major crashes with the earlier pair on) even though they don’t fully cover the ankle, they provide enough protection.

The earlier pair of woodland shoes I had was quite similar to this one and despite very rough use and couple of major falls, it worked flawlessly for three years, before it got a major cut and I had to throw it away. I expect this one to have similar if not better life.
The two major downfalls with these shoes is the fact that they have tendency to loose grip on wet surfaces and take forever to dry! Not to mention give out strange orange color when drenched, even though there is not a hint of orange color in them!
But for Rs. 2395, they are one of the most comfortable pair of shoes that one can buy for touring purpose.buy it
