Nice-looking shoe with a thin vibram tread. Great for park walking or around town. They cannot handle any legitimate trails, let alone any mountains. They fit a little small. Tread is too thin for any real hiking. The mesh tears easily. My biggest annoyance is the design of the shoe allows the smallest puddle or standing water to soak your feet when walking, and I mean soak. I paid $40 at the North Face outlet and at that price, they are a fashionable walking shoe. Not worth full price.
