This was my second order of the same shoe because I wore out the first set. The first set took me to the top of an extinct volcano and many long walks. I will keep the second pair as a dressy casual shoe. Who knew this shoe could handle that rugged hike? What I like is that the insole is padded and the outside shoe stretches to fit my feet that swell later in the day. I also like the rubber style sole which has a great grip. My fear was slipping on the steep climb on gravel but the shoes had no problem gripping the gravel. They are not hiking shoes so I wore them out but I like shoes that I can travel in and not worry about being able to leave the car and take an unexpected excursion.
