SpeedARC Matis Hiking Sneaker (Men)

I really don't bother taking time to write reviews but I have been pretty impressed with these Speedarcs. I did not buy these for hiking or running so this review won't apply to that. I purchased the Nori colorway of these in April 2026 with plans to wear them during a trip to Japan. I'm on my feet all day at work so I'm always looking for a comfortable sneaker that won't leave my feet aching at the end of the day. During the week I wore this throughout my trip I averaged walking 10-12 miles a day and these Speedarcs offered just the right amount of support and cushion for my feet. The midsole is not spongey like some of the maximum cushioning shoes I've tried (Hoka Clifton for example) so you don't get that feeling like you're walking on marshmallows. But they're not so firm that you feel like you're walking on bricks. These are more comfortable for all day wear than the New Balance 99X series shoes I have (990 V6, 992, and 993). I didn't experience any squeaking like some others have mentioned. The toebox on these is roomy and I tend to look for sneakers that have a bit wider toebox. So I would say sizing on these is true to size as I went with a 10 in these. In comparison I always have to go with a 10.5, sometimes even 11 in most Nike footwear. The one caveat is the mesh on the top of the toebox does allow water through pretty quickly. So the gore-tex version may be a better choice if you wear these in rainy weather. But overall I really like these shoes and am planning to order another pair or two in other colorways.
