I purchased these shoes and completely love them! I live in Costa Rica and needed a pair of durable all terrain running and hiking shoes. I run and hike on all different types of terrain such as rain forests, waterfalls, beaches, rivers, mud, water, rocks, sand and everything else in between- they perform perfectly. I opted for the pink since I am a pink lover and am so glad I did as these are so pretty! Once I am finished with my run or hike I pull out the soles rinse them and the shoes out and hang them to dry out of the direct sun of course. They dry well and are ready for the next training session.  The only thing I would change if anything is the shoestring length- I double tie my shoes when I run to ensure they stay tied and these are barely long enough to double tie. Other than that I love them. I highly recommend these shoes if you're looking for a good pair of all terrain shoes.
