Decent shoe, fits well, easy to get on and off and cute if you like the Converse look. Not great for extended walking. If you’ve got an all-day trip planned to the amusement park or some extended in-store Christmas shopping to do then I recommend something with more support.

These shoes work great, they are very similar to other shoes I’ve trained with but these cost about $25 less. They fit well and seem to be well made. The only complaint I have is that the laces are very short so you may consider buying other laces.

I really love this shoe. I've had two pairs so far, because I liked the first pair so much I had to order a second. I haven't had any problems with wear and tear, and I wear mine every day. They're light and breatheable, which is something that I always have a hard time finding in shoes. My first pair got me through a rainy spring without any incidents, despite the super breatheable in-soles that I thought were going to be a problem. They're as water-tight as any other casual sneaker. They might seem a bit stiff when you first put them on, but they break in really well. Can't wait to get another pair.

First off, I wear a size 14 in most shoes, including Five Ten Freerider mountain biking shoes. These are only made up to a 13. I heard that they come a little large though and decided to try them out. I'm not sure if this is true across all sizes, but the 13 is more like a 13.75. They ended up fitting me very well. So, be careful on the size.
The main reason I bought these though is that I LOVE the Stealth rubber soles on my MTB shoes and wanted to try out a pair of hiking/approach shoes from Five Ten. Even though the tread pattern doesn't look terribly aggressive, these are the best gripping trail shoes I've owned. They are comfortable all around with a reasonably wide toe box and good cushioning at the top of the tongue and under the ankle. The soles are stiff and took a little while to break in. I still wouldn't say they've "softened" all that much though. The bottom of the shoe is pretty stiff and the inner sole is not very cushy. They are comfortable for wearing all day though. I recently traveled with them for 10 days as my only pair of shoes both walking around town and hiking. So, they're fine. If you like a soft sole or lots of padding though, these are definitely not for you.
The only complaint I have is that these shoes do not breathe well at all. They're mostly a soft leather with a little bit of mesh. The mesh is thick though. My feet get hot in lots of shoes, but these are very hot. The flip side is that they do a decent job of keeping moisture out. During rainy hikes, my feet have stayed pretty dry. For me, the durability is nice. I've beaten up a lot of shoes hiking and I can tell these are going to hold up well. They're very well made and solid.
Overall, I really like these shoes. You just have to be good with the tradeoffs. They choose durability, grip and stiffness over being lightweight and breathable. And I feel like I should repeat that they are not cushy. They have stiff soles, but flex enough to walk around in all day no matter what the terrain. Give them a try if that's what you're after.

The shoes look and feel well made. A plus considering the price. The hook-and-loop fastener makes the shoes easy to put on and take off. There is not a lot of support for the arch of the foot, so I sometimes use an insert for extra support.
