These Solomon shoes are very nice, fantastic arch support, and well made shoe. Unfortunatly, I had to send them back , the right one didn't seem to fit quite right, (no pun intended) The left one fit perfect!! These shoes would be great for the outdoors, a little stiffer than the last pair of Solomon's I got, and LOVE!!! All in all, give them a try, they may work just fine for you.  I am looking for a little more of a shoe I can wear to shop in, and just wear running errands. These are a little "too much shoe " for what I was looking for. But I do love the Solomon shoes, and I would order this brand again. I did order a 1/2 size smaller, as I did the last pair, and they are just right. I do think they run a little larger than some other brands.
