These are well-made, sturdy hiking shoes with great support and grip. I like the brand, as it is first quality.  I have some feet &#34;issues&#34; and need a shoe with good arch support that is not too narrow in the toe box.  This shoe fits the bill. My only complaint is that it's a bit tight across the foot, not in width, but in height--about where the first eyelets are.  If you have a thick foot, as I do, this may not be the perfect shoe for you.  Otherwise, if you are looking for a solid shoe for rough terrain, this is worth a look.
