Love them!
Love them! Took them to Sedona and did three tough hikes in them. Great traction and no break in needed. Love the cushioning!

Design flaw / heel slippage
When I first put these on in my house I loved them. They’re very supportive and comfortable. However after taking them on a walk in the woods I could not get the heel to stop slipping. I tried pulling the laces tighter but then they pinched the top of my foot. They’re definitely not too big- it’s a design flaw since you can’t put the “lace” through the top hole and it’s always too loose around the ankle. I’m really disappointed because they were quite expensive and ultimately would never survive even an easy hike. I don’t recommend you waste your money even though they are cute

Great, sturdy shoe, problem heel slippage
I have been wearing these for two weeks, putting in about 25 miles. I have an issue with supination; however, during the first two weeks, they are GREAT! I will say, that the lacing system has a serious flaw. You can't use the heel lock (extra hole) system with the one loop and toggle. I cut those out and just use regular laces and they are great. Looking at buying another pair....but will give it another two weeks to ensure that they don't soften too much and wear out on the outside heel (supination). I like that they are grippy on trails, yet cushioned on the road.

Good shoes
So I took a risk and brought these as my only hiking shoe on a hiking trip. So comfortable right out of the box, easy on/easy off. Great shoes in general. I have two very minor problems. The bump out at the back of the sole made my feet feel significantly larger than they are and I was misjudging my foot length when it came to steps; the bump outs by the toe box also prevented me from getting my feet in cracks while doing rock scrambles. My bad for not buying a more rugged shoe. But I love these and put 50 miles on them in 4 days right out of the box
