At first these shoes felt pretty good, even though the arch support was fairly minimal. I took these shoes hiking for three weeks doing about 10-13 miles each day. I know they are trail runners, but figured they would at least hold up for three weeks. The first week they held up pretty well, but soon after the insoles were useless and I had severe pain in my feet. I replaced the insoles which solved that problem. Around week two I noticed that the structure of the shoe was starting to weaken around the ankles and the toe area. No matter how tight I did the shoelaces I still felt that my foot was moving around and was unsupported. I was disappointed with how quickly they started to weaken given that they are not a cheap shoe. I've had good luck with the Asics GT road running shoe so I thought this would be a good choice.<br />If you want this shoe for around town walking or an everyday shoe then it would be great. The only trails this would be a good shoe for would be a flat, well maintained bark trail, certainly not for a rocky or uneven trail.
