I love hiking in these shoes! They are so comfortable and sure footed. Also, these are ventilated, so while they are not waterproof like my other Merrells, they are great for hiking in a dry environment. I only wear tennis shoes now when I am running.

They might run a little small, like most Merrells. But, I ordered a 6.5 and they seem to fit me fine (that is the size I normally wear in a shoe).
