I am returning these shoes.  They are comfortable, but the designation as a trail running shoe is not appropriate in my opinion.  IF you are looking for a comfortable pair of shoes to walk around the lake in an urban setting, these would probably work well. There is very little support in the arches or in the sides of the shoes, which in my experience should be found in  a trail running shoe. I live in a rural area, no pavement, and want to feel that the shoes are protecting my feet when I am out on the trail.  They are nice looking, a bit wide in the toe box, which I like.  That said, I'm looking for a trail running shoe and these don't seem sturdy enough.
