Great shoes
Very comfortable and great for day hikes. Was looking for a stiffer sole than my on cloud trail sneakers and these fit the bill. Stiff sole, but still breaking in. Normal size is a 9 but went with 8.5 per the suggestion and this seems to be right. One minor point is the laces could be a bit longer. Not much to work with to double knot. Will use primarily for day hikes. Suede may get dirty but overall I think the shoes are great.
