Well made.  Having said that, I don't think it is fair to expect these are going to work for hard core hiking long- term for $27 as some reviewers have complained.  However, I have purchased similar shoes from FILA and these are definitely more robust.  The soles are thick and dense and the toe area is reinforced.  Your foot feels well supported.  They are comfortable and I like the look.  Overall I think these are great shoes for weekend hiking and all around walking use.  Very happy with this purchase.
