I have gotten a lot of use out of these and am very happy with them. They are sturdy, comfortable, and supportive while being much lighter than a traditional hiking boot. I have worn them all over Hawaii in the past 3 months for everything from hiking over miles of lava rock to strolling along beach paths. I did get the beginnings of a blister the first day wearing them (and walking for about 4 hours) but they have stretched a bit, I think and I have not had an issue since. My longest and toughest trek in them so far was a 9 ish mile day hike of the first section of the Kalalau Trail on Kauai. It's steep, muddy, often rocky hike and in retrospect these might not have been the best choice (I stubbed my toes once or twice). However, they have plenty of grip, and they feel secure even when wet (so long as you adjust them for a snug fit). It was great to not have to worry about getting them wet at stream crossings. They are slightly scuffed and dusty now but have held up very well.

High fashion they ain't, but they are reasonably low key and feminine looking for what they are, unlike a lot of hiking sandals that are so totally ugly that you don't want to be seen in them anywhere but on a hiking trail (yes I'm looking at you Keens!).

These do seem to run large. I tried several pairs of these in a store but they didn't have the color I wanted in my size. It was a good thing I did try them in person before buying online as I wound up needing a full size smaller than I usually wear. I'm generally an 8.5 to a 9 and I have fairly narrow feet. I bought these in a 7.5 (and I have never worn a 7.5 shoe in any brand since I was a preteen). I could have gone with an 8 for the fit of the ankle strap but the 8 had so much extra room sticking out past my toes that it looked odd and felt clunky. I have to let the straps out a bit more on the 7.5 but it's not a big deal since they are widely adjustable with Velcro.
