Have you ever tried on a shoe and right away knew it was going to be comfortable? This is that shoe. I went for a two mile hike as soon as I took these out of the box. I really like how the top part is woven, great for Phoenix heat, and the bottom has good tread for rocks, yet has a little "give" so you don't feel like you are walking on two wooden blocks. I need arch support and a wider toe box for my medium width. The toe bumper is genius. Size up 1/2 size for heavier hiking socks. Otherwise true to size. Obsessed with this color and this shoe. Where have you been all my life??
