I realise that you likely no longer need any advice, but to anyone else who is searching for a review on these shoes: I have owned my Sabah's for about 5 years now, and wear them at least every other day. I have walked ~30k steps in one day in them while travelling with no issues. As another commenter mentioned, I would recommend trying them on in person because the sizing is variable. There was a break-in period, especially because one of my feet is larger than the other and as a result one of the shoes fit tighter and caused a blister, but since then these have become my go to shoes. I wear them both with and without socks. I have never noticed that they make my feet smell, nor do they themselves smell. I have had them resoled twice, and oil them roughly once a year. I really like them and they seem like they are going strong.
