I wear MBTs most of the time at work, but I bought these because I didn't want the instability hiking. I love them. Very comfortable, even for my feet which are a tad on the wide side. They don't have as much arch support as I would like, which is why they got 4 stars instead of 5. I love the color though, it hides dirt really well, which is nice when you wear your hiking shoes into a restaurant or other business.
