So far, these have been a great shoe but it has only been one season. They look great, lightweight, feel very comfortable on my wide foot. Tread is better than some similar models by North Face for example. As others have mentioned, they will not hold up on hard trails or mountains but for city walking, metro parks, etc., they are very comfortable with good foot support. I used for several days in visiting DC and while others complained about their feet, mine felt fine. I normally wear 12 but for this shoe, a 13 was perfect. Mine are not waterproof, so don't expect them to work well in rain or on wet trails.
