I bought these for outdoor activities with my kids, lots of trail hikes and street walking.  They are very comfortable, much better than my Nike's and New Balance.  The shoe laces come untied a lot though, which can be annoying.  The mesh on the outside is great for hot weather and makes these soft and bendable, but not so great when the weather is cooler.  My feet freeze in these, I can feel the wind going right through them.  So all in all, I'd recommend these for warm weather hiking/walking.  Get something else for the cooler months.  True to size, I ordered my usual 7.5 and they are perfect, they stretched out quite a bit after the first few months of wearing them.  I wish they came in more than 2 colors.
