LOVE these shoes! I normally have a lot of heel and back pain when spending a whole day on my feet but I spent 5 weeks in New Zealand wearing these with literally no issues. They did need to be broken in but I swear by these now. Fits true to size and I'd say the toe box is roomier width wise than most regular size shoes (I wear size 9 regular). Even without the ankle support of boots, these felt plenty sturdy on my numerous hikes. How cute they are is a bonus.
