I'm a huge fan of Jambu and their J-41 brand, but these shoes are a rare miss.  They are not sturdy enough for any sort of hiking.  The biggest drawback to these shoes is the back strap.  It made the shoes fit more like a flip flop - definitely not stable on the back of the foot.  So they went back, and I instead bought a pair of Keen's for my trip to Hawaii.  So if you just want a cute running around shoe, go for this one.  But if you want one that can take you down a trail to the beach, run through the water, and hike home, this is not the shoe for you.
