Ive worn these nonstop for three months, walked hundreds of miles in them. I love they are completely adjustable Incase my feet are swollen one day. My feet get sore easily in other shoes, but these shoes keep them happy. I like walking in the woods/dirt paths because the dirt doesnt flip back under my toes. I do find them slippery on slick wet rocks while hiking near a river bed.  They have replaced all my other walking shoes, and I get a lot of compliments on how cute they are. Chacos have now replaced the Birkenstocks that I have worn for thirty years.
