The only (big) caveat I have with this shoe is that it slips off my heel. If I tighten it to the point where it doesn't slip, it's waaay too tight on the upper part of my foot. I've worn them on a few short hikes to break them in. I'm not sure I would take them on a long hike yet, because of the heel slip issue. I'm a little disappointed to be honest, I expected more out of this company based on my boyfriend's experience with the shoes he purchased from them.
