Right out of the box, these shoes look like they are ready to go for a run!  The tread looks like something you'd see on an all-terrain tire.  Seriously.  These shoes will keep a grip in rain, sleet, snow, and hail.  Plus, the shoe puts a bounce in my step.  There's an air/gel cushion built into the sole too.

I ordered the 4E version for my wide feet.  The 4E version is a bit snug but good enough for walking/running.  After breaking them in for a few weeks, the shoes should loosen up.

The shoe has solid ankle support and should protect your ankles during running/hiking.  The front of the shoe is fabric so your feet can breath during exercise.

The only possible flaw I've found is the length of the shoe laces.  They should be longer in the 4E version.

This is a great walking, running, or hiking shoe.  I'm happy with my purchase.
