I had been searching for a low hiker to replace my columbia's which are sadly wearing out. I wanted a comfortable hiker that looked good too. This shoe is perfect. So comfortable and to walk in. My foot roles very naturally in this shoe and it takes strain off of the balls of my feet and my arch. The ventilation feels wonderful too; my feet don't get too hot.

I did take the advice of other reviewers and went with a 1/2 size larger than my normal size. I am a solid size 7 in womens shoes. I went with the 7 1/2 and am very glad I did. Its not so much the width as much as the length. I think if I'd have gone with a 7 my toes would have touched the ends, making the shoe uncomfortable to wear.
