I'm glad these worked for some other reviewers, but want to report a real problem here. These shoes had little arch support, so I rectified that with an aftermarket insert. Then I couldn't figure out what was rubbing on the tops of my toes so much that the skin was gone (ouch!). Upon inspection, I found that the tongues on mine had long extensions down into the (top of) the toe area, sewn in where they should not be. It could be that the manufacturer uses one size tongue and carelessly sews in the extra long part in smaller sizes but that's just a guess. The fact is that these shoes have caused me significant pain and injury and even had I tried them on in a brick and mortar store before purchase, I probably wouldn't have worn them long enough to detect this problem.
I recommend that if you think you might like these, go somewhere where you can try them on with the awareness that there may be this issue.

I have hard-to-fit feet, but these fit perfectly. Plenty of room at the front of the foot where I need it. Light, cool, and supportive. I just hope I can buy these again when, and if, the ones I have wear out. They worn well for over two years now.

These were fantastic when paired with some thin neoprene socks on my river hike. They run a little narrow (even without the neoprene socks) so factor that into your decision if you have wide feet.
These are now my go-to day hiking shoes.
