Men's & Women's Hiking Shoes - Lightweight Outdoor Athletic Trail Running Sneakers for Trekking, Climbing & Fitness Walking | Slip-Resistant Barefoot Design for Jogging, Travel & Daily Use

4 stars because they are great but could be better.These shoes seem of good quality and well thought of.No color of finish surprises; I bouight green. The design is good enough to fool most to think they are $150.No shoe laces to get loose during hikes. Rather all the shoe is somewhat elastic and on top of that, there is the elastic tie band.The sock design opening will make impossible for small pebles and dirt to get in the shoe, while also making them easy and quick to put on or off.They are very lightThe sole is thick, around 19mm on the heel and around 14-15mm near the ball of the foot. This was a bit of a dissapointment because I was used to hike with a thinner sole and was used to feeling the ground and adjusting my gate and pace accordingly. I placed the shoe in a small shelf and measured the distance from the heel to the top shelf and from the ball of foot area to the top shelf and confirmed this shoe has around 4-5mm drop.I wish there was more rubber al around the tip of the shoe but at least what it has comes from the same part as the sole and that will prevent the rubber tip from comming appart as is common in hiking shoes. Anyway, the fabric near the base of the shoe is thicker and tougher than a regular running shoe even though in the product pictures it looks the same. Also the sole comes up the back of the shoe and there are harder shells around the arch/mid portion fo the foot)The toe box is narrow, fortunatley this shoe runs big and my toes fit in the widest part of the shoe (I wear men size 7). Fortunately whatever width is missing in the toe box is not severely constraining my toes by the elastic fabric (instead of rigid or heavy build in boots). At first it was kind of tight over the pinky metatarsal but it loosened up in a couple of hours.All in all, the toe box feels good enough to wiggle all fingers without any or much restriction. No discomfort at all.Ventilation is not as great as a running shoe but still better than my previous trail running shoes.There is no arch support so I am getting used to this and building strenght before a challenging one-day hike coming soon. I am barefoot most of the time since covid but for some reason not having arch support while wearing shoes, feels different. I did plenty of running in FiveFingers years ago though, so there is some memory.The only thing that bothers me about this shoe is the sole on the inside on the heel area which I tried to capture in picture, where I can feel a big grid/waffle pattern (only when removing the insole). I am afraid this might become unconfortable when the insole wears out, or this might even wear out the insole quicker.If these shoes are ruined after a couple of months I dont care because they have a good price. I dont want to spend $200 on brand shoes that will also come appart as several amazon and youtube reviews I saw.My grandson loves the hiking sneaker/boot style shoe. The fitting is so comfortable and the product is made of good quality, the navy blue color is perfect. Highly recommend to others.I'm used to having cushion in my shoes and these don't provide a lot of cushion but that's ok. They're a different kind of shoe. To me, it almost feels as if you're walking barefoot with a rubber sole stuck to your feet. The shoe upper hugs your in step an the top of your foot like a sock. I like that feature. Could I jog or run in these? Probably not only because I like a cushioned sole. For the price? Easily worth the small investment. I'd buy again and probably will get a different color. A little narrow but the mesh and stretchy upper make for a comfortable fit. I wear a size 10 and they fit true to size.These hiking sneakers are so comfortable, I had to get a second pair for everyday use, like the gym.I like the way these boots are made and they have incredible traction however if you have a wide foot they are not for you because after a while you will experience discomfortComfortableI had to order a size up because they were sold out of my size so they are big on me but didn't matter - still super comfortable. Love that they are slip on. Lightweight and collapse-able so easy for packing in suitcase. Full disclosure - I didn't hike rough terrain yet but did wear for all day walking and feet still felt good and shoes had great traction.An excellent product with an excellent price. These are very comfortable and the sole has a very nice pattern that molds on the surface you are walking on. Highly recommend for everyday usage as well as hiking. Very easy to bring with you in your backpack since they are super light weight.
