I've worn the Gel-trail Sensor 5 shoes around for a month or two, and recently did a wet weather 40+ miler.  These are well made shoes, and comfortable. I had no complaints with them for non running activities. The toe box is wide, they breath well and are not designed to keep your foot dry. My feet felt comfortable in them. I am primarily a race walker and jogger. My style is to add an additional inner sole for added running comfort.  I was satisfied with the Sensor's performance over a 40+ miler road run.  My main problem was that they had the urge to slip on wet surfaces, and there seemed to be little grip over wet concrete or asphalt. I was running with a group and others were not having the same slipping and sliding problem to the degree I was.  However the breathable fabric in the forefoot allowed my feet to dry fairly quickly when I was forced into running water torrents. I had no problems with the Sensor over dry ground, and no foot problems developed over the 40+ miles. I don't know if I'd buy the Sensor 5 again.  The slipping problem is a major concern for me.  But I'm going to continue to wear this pair on long road runs, which is what I bought them for. I may take them up on some steep roots, rocks, and mud trails just to see how they do, as they are supposed to be trail runners.  If you can find these shoes at a good price they may serve your purpose.
