Really Like My New Shoes!
I love the shoe overall. I had never bought a "Barefoot" shoe before and didn't realize there is very little between your foot and the ground, so keep that in mind if you like cushioning. I use inserts, so it wasn't a big deal for me. It is an all suede shoe, so is a little warm for Summer but will keep your feet warm come Fall! I also love the traction I get from the sole, and it looks pretty cool too.

Love The Look, But!
I bought the mid height waterproof boots a year and a half ago for a 2 week hiking trip through Patagonia, both the Chilean and Argentine parts. I loved the idea of a barefoot-style hiking boot and the look was fresh! Gotta say though, these are the worst hiking boots I've ever owned. Pros: solid sole; I have hiked over a bunch of jagged, sharp rocks and didn't feel any pokes or pressure. Also, contrary to other reviewers, I felt that the sole had great traction in wet conditions. Cons: the sole is so solid that it's absolutely rigid. And it never broke in. There is nothing "barefoot" about a sole that barely bends. For a barefoot style shoe, the toe box is still very narrow, and I have narrow feet to begin with. Further, don't let the pictures fool you. The toe box has very little height to it, leaving your toes feeling crammed with even the thinnest socks. As noted, they run quite small. I ordered a 1/2 size up as suggested and apparently needed a full size up. Lastly, the toe piece separates from the suede with even the smallest kick or ding on a root or rock. 2 hikes into using these boots and both toe areas were completely mangled (see photos). Overall, wouldn't recommend. You can find barefoot-style hiking boots that are light-years better than these in terms of fit, feel, and durability.

Size Up!
These run small so after exchanging them for one size up, I didn’t have time to break them in. I used them for 12 days straight on a trip to Scotland and Ireland. They checked all the boxes: comfortable, no breaking in period, waterproof and equally durable on both city streets and Highland hiking trails. Love the color too

Excellent Pilgrim’s Shoes
Excellent walking shoes! I just walked 54 km Catholic pilgrimage to Midland wearing them with good wool soaks and was very comfortable and cool. My soaks did not even get moist in 30 C heat and no blisters so far. 100 more kilometres to walk ahead of me and I am confident to continue wearing them. Thank you !
