I was looking for a single pair of shoes to wear on an upcoming trip to Malaysia. The trip will be a mixture of city walking and trail walking (not trekking). I wanted a shoe that would be light-weight, comfortable on both pavement and possibly muddy trails, and quick drying in the humid frequently rainy weather of Malaysia. While these shoes meet the light-weight, and quick-drying criteria, I quickly realized that the soles were not adequate for trail walking. In addition, after a couple of hours (about 2.5) of walking on pavement, they were less than comfortable. I believe these shoes are suitable 'deck shoes', but I should not have tried to save money, and I should have gone with a trail/hiking shoe. Arch support is not a criteria for me.
