Shoes were exactly what I needed. Currently deployed and these shoes fit great and feel comfortable, even on gravel roads. The sole is fitted with vibram technology. I had a pair of combat boots in the Army and they had this type sole. They lasted me with 4 years of comfort. These shoes I bought bring the same technology, except they have breathable mesh. Great shoe and well worth the price.

***Status update: With the shoe performance. First the shoe is made solid and is a great shoe overall, the only thing I had a problem with is it came with slim insoles. The insoles seem to be why I am getting heel pains. After wearing them for about a week, my heel began to hurt. I traded the insoles with my Daner boots and the pain stopped. So my conclusion was I needed better insoles. I ordered some Spenco PolySorb Total Support, since the insoles for my Daner boots were not for sale; will update how they work when they arrive in the mail.

***Status update: With the order of the Spenco PolySorb Total Support my heel feels great. They have total support of my arches, heel, and base of my foot. Without these insoles I would have not recommended these shoes due to the pain of my left heel. Keep in mind I fractured my left foot a few years ago, so that might be the reason my heel was hurting.  I still highly recommend these shoes, but do invest in a great pair of insoles.
