I have had these shoes for a couple of weeks and so far, I am impressed. I live in the mountains and do tons of hiking and have sensitive feet. These are way more comfortable than the North Face GTX Trail shoes I bought last year. My feet seem to fit perfectly and there is plenty of arch support. The price was great, too ... about $30 less than the North Face. Also, these shoes are very nice looking ... unique and classy. I am giving them only 4 stars because I haven't had them long enough to determine if they are good in the long haul. But I am guessing they will be 5 star shoes.
