OK I finally got to wear these for a whole day.  As expected a trifle short for my size 13 (US) feet but better than most brands who seem to be saving money by shortening shoe length, or is it because they are mostly made in SE Asia where feet (so the lasts) are typically smaller?  Despite this the shoes were more comfortable than expected and will stretch - width-wise. They appear well made and provide reasonable support altho yet another area of saving the inner cushioning is a little thin, but just good enough for me.  Too early to comment on sole wear but seems to be well stuck to the uppers (which is saying a lot these days) and toe area is well linked to the mesh upper so shouldn't hole out as easily as my Columbias!
