I like this shoe very much..  The height is just right to give good support walking over uneven terrain, particularly  when the laces are pulled quite tight.  The combination of closed eyelets (the lower four) and open ones (the upper two) makes the shoe easy to get on and tightly laced and at the same time easy to get off.

I think size marking is a little exaggerated: the 9.r length seems right, but the unusual width implied by 4E doesn't seem to be there.  I normally wear 3E footwear and this seems only a trifle snug.
