For people who complain that these are not hiking boots, of course they are not. The title of the product is "walking shoe". Yes, they are kind of styled like hiking boots, but the construction is more like a walking shoe. The outer sole has a grippy rubber and minimal lugs, which is great on pavement, but not on mud. The midsole is kind of flexy, which is great on pavement, but not on rocks. The leather upper is stylish and weather resistant, but lighter weight and less durable than what you usually find on hiking boots. These shoes have EVA midsoles which are comfortable, but break down much more quickly than the polyurethane midsoles found on serious hiking boots. I hope that these boots last more than a year of regular use. For the $70 sale price, these boots are a fine value, but not at the $100 retail price.

Sizing is fine for me. I bought my normal size 9 and it fits great. Length is fine. Width is on the narrow side, which I prefer. If you have extra wide feet, order a wider size, not a longer size. These do come in 3 different widths.
