Interested in new Patagonia products?
Patagonia's values reflect those of a business that started as a band of climbers and surfers who wanted to stay out as long as they can, doing what they love, no matter the weather. Patagonia's design approach to every product, from technical shells for snow and ice, to moisture-wicking underclothes, to everyday clothes, demonstrates a functional bias toward simplicity and utility. Quality is impeccable, and the guarantee lifelong.
Patagonia's love of wild and beautiful places demands participation in the fight to save them and to help reverse the steep decline in the overall environmental health of the planet. They use organic cotton; most polyester is recycled. They give moral support - and 1% of sales, $25 million to date - to hundreds of grassroots environmental groups in the U.S., Europe and Japan.

Let's get one thing out of the way. I murder shoes. I am a photographer and have unrealistic expectations of what my shoes should be able to do. This shoe meets and exceeds those expectations. I just ordered another pair of these shoes to replace my 14 month old pair that are finally showing signs of wear. In the last 14 months, I've worn these shoes in every possible atmosphere: Snow, sleet, rain, freezing temps, 100 degree plus temps. I've worn them in forest fires, house fires, and at accident scenes where they've kept their traction in oil, foam, transmission fluid and the like. They feel great on my foot, they really take abuse and they don't show it. These replaced my Merrell Interceptors, a shoe that might be a bit better looking but has a much softer sole that didn't hold up to my abuse. My only complaint is that these aren't waterproof. I replaced them with the GoreTex version today and don't expect to buy another pair of shoes till March 2013. In short, there is nothing you can do, short of leaving them on fire, that will damage them. I highly recommend them. Once I determine how waterproof the GoreTex version is, I might swap my preference to that, but so far, these are the best shoes I've ever owned.

I really wanted to like these shoes because I like Patagonia and I like the way they look. However, after wearing them for a week, I am thoroughly disappointed. My biggest complaint is that my feet do not feel secure in them. The inside lining is too slippery so my feet move too much. No, the shoes were not too big for me. I even cinched down the laces to the point where they started to cut off circulation but my feet still moved too much. Did they spray the inside with Teflon?? Definitely not something I want to wear doing any type of technical hiking or scrambling over rocks. My other complaint is that the laces are made of slippery round nylon that don't like to stay tied so I have to either double knot them or constantly stop to retie them. Granted, you could just get new laces, but you shouldn't have to when paying a premium price for the Patagonia brand. Overall, I'm disappointed in these shoes.

These shoes fit very similarly to the leather goretex Drifters that I bought last winter. But, they have way better ventilation. I like the roomy toe box and the vibram sole which has a nice grip on rocky trails. As I discovered on the Mist trail in Yosemite, they are not the least bit waterproof, but they do dry very quickly.

Great fit, this is my first time at Zappos loved the full year return policy. No wonder it's voted the best shoe comfort, fit, waterproof just great. I walk on the beach and lead tours at Fisherman Island National Wildlife Refuge and am taking them to Equador this week.
I'd also recommend: buy two pair (none)

I own many items of Patagonia clothing however these are the first pair of shoes. I found them to be extremely comfortable, solid hiking shoes. They would also make ideal everyday shoes for people who spend alot of time on their feet. Another quality product from Patagonia.
I'd also recommend: Merrell
