Comments: I bought these as trail running/snow running shoes/mountain running shoes. They are pretty stiff but durable and stable for running over snow fields. They don't fit my feet that great. They are not very cushiony either. If they fit they would have done what I bought them for. The sole rubber is too hard.

Feels true to width
Cons:
Heavy, Uncomfortable
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: These shoes were extremely stiff and uncomfortable. Perhaps, they just need breaking in? Didn't have the time to do this, nor the inclination. Due to the waterproof nature of this shoe, was hoping this would work out. I tend to have pretty sensitive feet...so it could be my problem, too.
Not sure it is a good deal

Sizing:
Feels full size too small
Width:
Feels true to width
Pros:
Great Traction, Non-slip sole, Water Resistant
Best Uses:
Day hikes, Everyday, Wet Weather
Describe Yourself:
Avid Adventurer
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I bought one pair and then did an exchange for another pair of the same shoes. Of my first pair, the black band on the outer side of the right shoe would bend in and press the foot hard so it hurt when you walk. It is definitely a defect to me. The second pair has the same problem, but not as bad. The shoes are made of gore-tex and supposed to be good in wet weather, but I haven't tested this out yet.

Sizing:
Feels half size too small
Width:
Feels true to width
Pros:
Comfortable, Non-slip sole, Stable, Water Resistant
Best Uses:
Backcountry, Day hikes
Describe Yourself:
Casual/ Recreational
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I really regretted having to return these shoes because the size 11, the largest available, was too short when I tried them with hiking socks. My thick toes came right against the top and touched the end when I walked. But these shoes felt so comfortable everywhere else: well-cushioned and flexible yet very stable.

Width:
Feels true to width
Pros:
Great Traction, Non-slip sole, Water Resistant
Cons:
Heavy, Needs more cushion
Describe Yourself:
Casual/ Recreational
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I am a P.E. teacher so I wear the shoes when I go out in the mornings so I do not have wet feet all day. They are a little heavy so I change them when the grass drys up.
