See Manhattan On Your Feet Kicks Off Our Coverage of Patagonia for Men with the Tsali! Patagonia's Tsali is Highly Recommended by Whom You Know-Great Comfort, Superior Style and Perfect to Go With J Brand Jeans!

Whom You Know embraces style and function together and in our quest to find the best, we have totally found it with the Patagonia Tsali.  As you know, we have a stellar panel of men that tests the men's shoes, and our Star Panelist raves about the Tsali:


I love the look of the Tsali.  I have tested several pairs of shoes now, and I must say not everything looks fabulous and feels as great on as it may look online.  The Tsali measured up to all my expectations and exceeded them! I am most impressed with the amazing air circulation offered by this model.  It is absolutely like air conditioning for your feet!  And of course, I wear these with socks and my feet are not sweaty at all...whether you are walking or running the air flow quality is unparalleled in the marketplace and this feature is the best I have seen on any footwear.  The mesh allows your feet to breathe better.  They are incredibly lightweight.  The quality of the material used and the total engineering is top-notch.  The Tsali by Patagonia boasts superior durability, and excellent support for your foot.  When putting them on, make sure you are not hungry because the laces are shaped like linguine and you might start nibbling on them!  A great shape for laces. They are entirely versatile as well: I have run in them, I have walked in them, and I have even played some team sports in them.  Though I may not walk quite as much as Peachy or Mireille, who are the most ardent supporters of the philosophy of See Manhattan on your Feet, I have walked for several miles in these in Manhattan and have had no problems.  Additionally, I have received many compliments on the awesome style of the Tsali.   They are perfect with the J Brand jeans I have previously tested, and my pair was gray: http://www.whomyouknow.com/2010/08/cause-every-girl-is-crazy-about-sharp.html  Overall, the quality is excellent, the style is where it's at and these are the sneakers men everywhere should sport!  Whom You Know highly recommends the Tsali by Patagonia.
