I found this shoe in a Dillards store. Unfortunately they did not have the color I wanted so I got it here on Amazon. Golite makes a very comfortable shoe but if you can, find some place to try on the shoes in person to find the right model. Many were comfortable for me. Some were not and this one was perfect. I found it had excellent grip on light trails with loose material. It was comfortable out of the box although a little stiff around the upper portion of the heel which worked itself out very quickly. It is great for walking/hiking in wet grass/weeds as the shoes do not get wet easily with the rubber over the toes. They are heavy but very comfortable. The down side is that the grippy sole is soft and wears a little quicker but for me that is OK as I like having the security of a grippy sole. The downsides are the cotton laces tend to pick up alot of weed seeds and the long length of laced part of the shoe also tends to allow things to get in your shoe. However I'm all about comfort and will buy these shoes again.
