Excellent Show For Walking

Bought a pair over a year ago and have worn them almost daily walking and as everyday shoes. They've held up well. Recently ordered a second pair. Lightweight, which I prefer when walking distances, and durable.

Great Shoes No Break In Required

Wore these to Masters weekend at Augusta National, worked wonders on the steep hills. Comfort was 10/10 and had no sore feet after walking 16 miles. Shoes do not need to be broken in, they are comfortable out the box.

I Want To Love Them. But...

They are one of the shoes with a wide enough midfoot. But the heel slips and I am still trying to figure out how I can modify them to get them to work. So they are great, but I worry how they will do on long travel days and 20k steps. I think it's more my foot than the shoes, but it's a bit of a struggle.

Heel-toe Drop Problem

Perfect fit, great toe box but the heel-toe drop was a deal breaker. When I tried them on they felt way more than 8mm. Unfortunately, that’s a deal breaker for me. 8mm would have been ok but this was too steep.

What A Deal!

I got these at a discounted price that was so good I bought two pair! I love the shoe, have worn them in the past, and was excited to see them on sale!

Simply Lace Up And Get Moving Comfort!!

Extremely comfortable shoes, simply lace up and get moving, a perfect fit and looks great.

Good Shoes, Horrible Color Options

Having a wide foot and mild foot pain in most shoes, I have found that these shoes help alleviate the pain but they only last about six months before I need to buy a new pair. I have had the same greige color for my last three pairs. Not because I love it...but because it is the only color that is not ugly black or military green. Why do the wide Nova shoes never have any color? Why are they always bland or black? Years ago they had a couple varieties of rainbow year after year, and it was so exciting to actually have some color on my shoes again.

Great Shoes

Light and confortable! Great shoes for running in the trail.

Bad Soles

The shoes themselves are good but the new soles are not, any bit of a slippery surface and they turn into ski's. Please bring back the Vibram soles for these shoes.

Not Good For Trail Running - Soles Wore Out Fast

I don't trail run anymore but bought these mainly for walking and light hikes. I like the styling, light weight and cushy feel. However, the comfort leads to some trade-offs. I hiked on a moderate trail I used to run on, to see how they'd do (rocky AZ desert) and my ankle rolled about 5 times. They are just not supportive enough. I am 6'4" 220" some a lighter smaller person who doesn't need much support may do fine with these. Also, since the soles are fairly soft, grip is great but they wore out pretty quickly on my walks on asphalt. So uppers are in great shape but I'll have to ditch these due to the soles wearing. My Merrell Moab boots are still hanging in there after several years, so this review is should reflect only this style and not the entirety of the company's product line.
