Attractive, very cushy, mid height trail runner or around town shoe.
Very comfortable shoes. Added a simple shoe insert (Dr., Scholl's type) and it is very cushy now and absorbs perspiration. The top debris sock is very snug yet not constricted during wear. It is not a "put it on in a rush" shoe as it takes a bit to get your foot into it-- though the loop on the back heel helps you pull your foot in, Speed laces seem to work and can be cinched as tight as you want. Haven't tried it in water or strenuous hiking yet but it seems almost too nice a shoe for trail running! Purchased the black with red accents --very nice looking so that you can wear around town doesn't look like a hiker.
