Gave these a try and liked so much, picked up a second pair. Usually wear a 6.5 or a 7, but sized up to a 7.5 to make sure I could wear thick socks - and also, my foot is wedge shaped, wide across the toe with a narrow heel. So with a slimmer toe shape on these, wanted to make sure the front of my foot wasn't getting pinched. Personally wouldn't wear these in rough terrain, but for light hiking and everyday (like trips to grocery or doctor) find myself reaching for these time and again. Think they would be good for city sightseeing too.With good socks, found them very comfy for my high arches, out of the box, even with planar fasciatis that flares up. Really like the protected feel of the plush ankle padding, and light weight. Has become a go-to, multi-season shoe. Will probably get a few more pairs to stash, because it's awful when a great product vanishes, and love these! As I've gotten older, I don't like flimsy shoes; these remind me of wearing dance training shoes with the high ankle; comfortable, protected, and secure.
