Overall not a terrible shoe, but not a good hiking boot. It took me over a week of daily wear to break them in, but they are getting to be fairly comfortable now. They seem very sturdy, and look really good. They are definitely very well ventilated which is why I bought them (feet were getting too hot in my other boots).

When it's dry, they have great traction, but if there's even a bit of moisture, they're terrible on any remotely hard surface (rough concrete, asphalt, logs, rocks, etc...). They're worse than wearing no shoes at all in wet conditions. In my opinion, this makes them kind of worthless as a hiking boot in the pacific NW.
