Ousel Waterproof Hiking Sneaker (Women)

Fantastic shoes. Great arch support (I have very high arches), heel cushion, and stability. The toe box is roomy enough without feeling like my foot is sliding around. Not as heavy as I feared they would be. I'd rather wear these for daily use than any of my fashion sneakers or "walking" shoes. I'm considering getting a second pair to dedicate to actual hiking, since I'm likely to use these a lot even when I'm not on trails.

The description says waterproof, but they do not have the 'b dry' label on the shoe so I am skeptical. They aren't the cutest Oboz that I've ever had, but they are okay. I would not use these for hiking because you will have no ankle support whatsoever. I think they run a bit short, and they aredefinitely not made for a chubby foot. I am on the fence as to whether I will keep them.

I purchased my usual size, 9 1/2 M, and the fit was good. These seemed to have a good heel seat, but not enough stabilization as I had pressure like my inside ankles were rolling inward. They seemed well made and designed otherwise. I'll stay with Ryka unless I try on first. I'll give this brand another try when I am in-store to try a few different styles.
