I have 13 EE wide feet so its hard to find shoes that fit comfortably, look good, and are durable. Merrells were pretty good but they diddnt last, so I gave these a try. They are $$$$ One of the most expensive shoes Ive ever bought but I think its worth it. SUPER comfy for everyday wear and great for hiking around. I don't know if I would use them for serious hiking though, I would use a higher ankle boot. But for working and playing its a great shoe. I thought it would be too brown/green and gross looking but they actually look really good in person.
