These are excellent light/medium duty hiking boots. Very good traction in a variety of conditions with one exception: they do really poorly on greasy floors. I about went a** over teakettle in a mens room in Wyoming. Feet just kept sliding out from under me. Otherwise, they grip really well, even on wet rock and such.<br /><br />Fit wise, they are about right, but I wish there was something between regular and wide. I tried the regular version at a local store, and they were a tad too narrow, bought the wide version on amazon, and they are a tad too wide. It's easier to deal with too wide though, so I kept them
