Having spent decades hiking, backpacking, walking trails and roads, cycling, and even running way back when (before spine surgery) in many varieties and brands of shoes, I've gotta say these are the all-around best ever that I've worn! They are light enough to wear mountain-biking or probably even trail-running (though I don't run anymore), but also very sturdy and offer lots of support even though they are low-cut like running shoes. With a tendency to sprain ankles, I thought I'd need the ankle support of a higher cut, but it seems unnecessary now because of the stability these offer. The soles actually grip rocks, slippery muddy slopes, and slimy logs and for me nowadays, that extra confidence in my shoes is important. Also for me, they were perfectly comfortable right out of the box, and about a week later, I completed the somewhat grueling 7-hour/22k Tongariro Crossing (New Zealand) in fine form while wearing them (which means no jammed toenails for once). I also like the fact that my feet don't overheat in these shoes, no matter how long I've been hiking/walking and no matter what the weather is. Though not actually waterproof, they handle moisture (mud, misty fog, wet foliage, puddles) well and dry fairly quickly (definitely overnight); in my case, having been soaking wet (I'd hosed off lots of mud), they dried to a custom foot shape gripping my feet. After hiking all day, I've even worn these out to (a nice) dinner without any askance looks, they are that good-looking. The fit was true to size, with a good amount of wiggle-room in the relatively wide (but not too wide) toe box.

I'd highly recommend these shoes to anyone looking for something light, sturdy, non-slip, stable, good-looking, and all-around excellent for multiple outdoor pursuits. These would be perfect for travelers wanting to pack just one pair of shoes suitable for lots of different activities.
