They were comfortable, quick-drying, and I didnt get any blisters.
The problem was that they fell apart after about 250 miles of hiking in Maine. I was concerned they wouldn5 last untip gorham, new hampshire. I hwr to do a lot of duct taping.
For short hikes they are fine. I do not recommend for long distance hiking. Go with merrell.

I discovered La Sportive Wildcats a few years ago and have been a dedicated fan ever since. This shoe is adequately cushioned for moderate trails, dirt/gravel roads, and some pavement running. It offers protection commensurate with its design, meaning it is not a hard core rocky trail type shoe, but is perfect for less challenging terrain. I used Asics 2120 2140 trail shoes prior to buying the Wildcats, and was quite happy with them, but find the Wildcats offer a better and more comfortable fit and a roomier toe box. They feel lighter than their actual weight and are as speedy as I could hope for without going to a lighter shoe that offers less cushioning and protection. It occupies the center ground in trail shoes, neither a superlight barefoot trail runner nor a heavyweight super protective Hummer of a shoe. For my type of running, mostly forest service roads with some singletrack and an occasional road run they are perfect.Best Deals on La Sportiva Men's Wildcat 2.0 Trail Running Shoe
I'll keep them only for walking, just because they look top notch. The EUR sizes are correct but the US sizes are half size small (maybe even 1 size small), I'd suggest take a half size bigger than your (max) US size.As it comes to actually RUNNING, these are hell stiff and not flexible AT ALL (unlike Mizuno's which are stiff but still flexible). I felt no cushion (too close to the ground). No energy return, not a bouncy shoe at all.
I can't comment on durability but it does seem pretty solid and high quality. I'd not really categorize this shoe for running.
