No doubt woodland is very old company and its simply superb. it always makes casual shoes . if anyone wants sports shoes then he don, t even go for woodland brand. when I wear its shoes I feel in such a relaxed situation and it gives too comfort to your body.regards durability, I bought woodland shoes 7-8 months ago and these are in same still in same possition as I bought before. woodland shoes are somewhat heavy in weight but not so much heavy, it gives really comfort to your body. but it is somewhat costly brand . its price range starts from nearly 2000.
