We just returned from a 5 mile hike in the mountains and these shoes were great! Light weight and wider toe box makes them a great hiking shoe. Love them!

The fit and size were spot on and they are extremely comfortable and light. I have gone on several hikes with no discomfort.

Perfect shoe for hiking on wet or dry trails. The fit feels great. I bought these for vacation. They fit so good I will probably use them for running too.

These fit perfectly and are so comfortable. I wore them on a 10 mike hike with water crossings and never got a blister or slipped on the rocks. I wore them without socks and they were absolutely perfect! Highly recommend

These shoes are very comfortable. Love wearing these during the hot summer months! If they get wet they dry very quickly! Great shoes for walking and exercising!

I love these shoes! They are great for trail hiking. I found them to be extremely comfortable and airy. My feet didn't sweat at all while wearing them. They would make for great water shoes as well!

I normally buy a different brand of hiking shoes but tried these and these are incredible! I have plantar faciitus and these make my trail walking painfree. I'm getting rid of my other brand now I bought 8.5 which is my normal size and seemed plenty of wriggle room in toe. On a steep trail I'd probably wear two pairs of socks

These shoes are sooo comfy. The only thing that was a little weird is that the toe box felt too roomy, but after wearing them for a day everything felt normal. This is the first pair of tie shoes I have not had to double knot just in-case. I've worn so many different brands over the years and so far after 1 week I love these shoes. There has been no need to break them in as they are already comfortable. Great arch support and ball cushioning.

This is the 2nd pair I have of these shoes. If they had 10 colors, I would get them all. They fit great, very comfortable, price is good.

I love the shoes!! They are comfortable and has great support. Unfortunately, I have to return them because it's too small for me. I normally buy size 7 and can fit 6.5 so I thought getting size 7 will give me enough room for my big toes to wiggle just like my other shoes, but with these shoes I only have a tad space left to wiggle. I tried walking inside the house with the shoes on, and I could feel my toes hitting the front of the shoes. I know that if I use this on a hike, it's going to hurt my big toes especially when walking down a steep hill. I'm a little indecisive if I will order the 7.5. I'm afraid it'll be way too big me. I'm returning them, but I still recommend these shoes! They are perfect as long as you get the correct size. :)

These shoes seem well made, but did not fit me. I had to lace them super tight to feel right (narrow feet, I guess). Lacing them tight enough to work for me made them bunchy on the outside, as if I was wearing someone else's shoes. I bought these to replace my old Drainmakers but these are too wide for me. They also feel a little heavier than my old shoes. I am returning them so that someone else may enjoy them.

I bought this shoe with the hope of comfort and durability. So far so good. The only reason I give it 4 stars is because the shoe runs a little small.

The shoes are ready comfortable, flexible. Perfect fit. Nice to wear it. Feet's are not getting tired after wearing them all day. I just wish they were waterproof.

I purchased these shoes for an upcoming 10 month trip around Asia. I was looking for something that I could hike in at times, but mainly to walk around in during wet or dry conditions. I tried them on outside to check for air flow and that seems pretty great, but I haven't worn them around yet as I'm still deciding if I should keep them. The shoe runs a little big (I am always a size 7) and it doesn't seem to provide as much support as many of the running or hiking sneakers that I tried on.

I was thrilled to find this shoe after a long search for something that would be good for tropical trails with water crossings. I've had a similar, now discontinued, Columbia shoe that worked well for this. However, the fit of this shoe was very odd for my feet and had to return. Despite being exactly my size, there were ridges on the footbed that landed under the ball of my foot rather than further forward under the base of the toes, for example. The toe box was narrow and my little toe rubbed. I worry that these issues will cause foot problems after hiking. I have narrow feet and long toes, so surprised to encounter these issues in a regular width/length shoe.

The shoes were long enough, but too narrow. Ordered 10 Medium. Having never seen this type of shoe before, I wasn't sure what I would get. I don't do water sports, which is what this style seems to be geared to in addition to light hiking. I would never wear them hiking because I require considerable support through the arch and ankle. Being in my mid-60s, good support is essential. They sure were pretty!

These shoes wore out much faster than usual. The toe fabric developed holes, and then the sole developed excess wear and peeled away from the shoe. They did dry quickly as promised. I won’t buy these again.

These shoes look super but the arch falls back too far for my foot. There doesn't seem to be as much support as I need for being on my feet all day. The sole is excellent.

The insole makes your feet really hot .I got sores on my left foot.It is where the stitching is at the tongue. The right foot is just fine.

The shoes seemed good but not good for backpacking through water. Not much overall support in sides and sole. I returned them.

This shoe took a while to fit comfortably on my feet and I was disappointed to find out that it may be great for draining water but allows sand and dirt inside the shoe. I did not discover this until I was on a very sandy trail and it made for an uncomfortable hike. I plan to use these when no sand will be around but had hoped they could be a bit more versatile. Overall, design and fit is good but not as multi-tasking of a shoe I thought it would be.
