I had been looking at purchasing these shoes through Amazon, but wanted to try them on in person first. So I went to a major sports store and not only tried on these, but all the other similar shoes (trail running). No question these were the best. I had purchased them for hiking, but they are so comfortable I've taken up running as well. I plan to purchase more through Amazon since they have more colors.

I did get a half size larger than I normally wear.
