Got these for my wife. We needed some new hiking shoes for her.
We had merrel before but this time chose to go with these after reading the reviews.
We went on a hike in Lone pine CA and she loved these.
She said they were super comfy and had great support.
I would def suggest these for other women.
I will buy a pair of these now for men.

sorry this is an addition to my first post.
My wife is returning these because she said they were too big even with some thicker hiking socks.
We will be buying a size 7 M for womens. still a great hiking shoe
