Have hiked about 15 miles in these shoes to break them in for a serious hike, and find them okay to this point.  I bought them a half size bigger than I normally take, and that was a smart thing to do in case you're wondering about size.  Not a great hiking shoe, but for the price they're pretty good.  Would buy them again.  Will check in after my first "serious" hike and tell you how the shoes are faring.
