Felt a little too big in toe box for my feet
Reviewer J Polian
This has been one of my more comfortable NBs.

I am a huge Chuck fan - BUT I have flat feet, and can wear them comfortably. My husband and daughter cannot. I feel like most people that wear Chucks do so because they want to make a "fashion statement" at the cost of their feet... I just need them for my flat feet - and thus every 10-12 months I order a pair of Black Chuck Taylors, works for me!

My husband's absolute favorite hiking/urban shoe -- he has 4 pairs and if they ever wear out, my guess is he'll buy more.

Lite weight, accurate size, not worn a lot yet though.

Bought these because wearing my gym shoes for long days on my feet just was not fashionable. These shoes look great while being very comfortable to wear all day on my feet. They are super lightweight. The nylon is very thin and not very water resistant, but then again what nylon shoe is. For reference my gym shoes are Nike Free 5.0 and Flyknit 4.0. If those shoes are 10 out of 10 for comfort and support, I give these 9 out of 10. I cannot comment on durability, but I am going on vacation soon so we will see how they stand up to probably 100 miles of walking in the next month or so.

Size was fine, but width was to narrow.
Reviewer Robertinho
These socks are great and have great stretch. I bought these for a friend who wears a size 14 Mens and these socks fit him comfortably.
Reviewer G S Bhatnagar
This is a quality shoe, the suede and leather mix gives this classic sneaker a really expensive look. The fit is spot on in both width and comfort. I will purchase these again.

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.
