I bought these then promptly took them on a 40-mile backpacking trip through the Tetons. What a relief to finally make the switch from boots to a trail runner! They did great scrambling on the rocks, felt fantastic with 30lbs+ on my back, and I only got a small blister the last 2 miles of the trip. After a whole summer of hiking and backpacking, I then brought then to Turkey to hike the Lycian Way. That trail sucked, but these shoes rocked. My final trip was to the Wind River Range on a 60-mile backpacking trip. They were still great, but after 800+ miles, they were losing their grip, so it's time for another pair. I don't know if they are the best backpacking shoes, but after years of uncomfortable heavy boots that constantly gave me blisters and made my feet go numb, these are like heaven, and I just ordered another pair. P.s., don't let the stupid sales people try to talk you out of waterproof boots. They have been indispensable to me over my travels. As far as fit goes, I always thought I was a size 7-7 1/2 in shoes, but was a size 8 in these.

I have yet to wear these hiking, but I have worn them on longer walks around town. Thus far, I can say that they provide some ankle stability without being overly constrictive. I wish the foot-bed was a bit softer, but they are comfortable nonetheless.

I just received these and have not used in a trail or running setting yet. They are very comfortable and well fitting. I especially like how they fit around the ankle for stability and to prevent any rocks from getting into the shoe. These are my first trail sneakers and I look forward to using them.

Honest reviews on Montrail Women's Mountain Masochist Mid Outdry Stable Trail Running

I wore these for the first time just out at a street festival. There is a stiff part of the construction that hits the outside of my right ankle right where that bone is. I'm trying to decide if this is a matter of needing to be "worn in" or if I should just return them. The left shoe has the same construction but it doesn't seem as pronounced. The trick is if I wear these hiking to wear them in, and it doesn't get better, they will probably be too dirty to return. Wonder if anyone else has had this issue?

these are the third different style of Montrail shoes I own and are my favorite over all i've ever owned. Fit and comfort right out of the box for all activities, which include long hikes and running trails. Plenty of toe room and support with NO issues for fit for my size 7 1/2. LOVE THEM and will buy this brand from here on out!!!

I bought two pair of these: black and white.

The rubber soles are of excellent quality. There is no added heel, so it is essentially "zero drop". The leather in spots is mentioned as pig skin. The rest of the build is not much better than a pair of wrestling shoes, so I wouldn't pay over 60 bucks a pair for them shipped. Toe room is fine. The permanent insole is crude and I'd rather it used thermoplastic blue gel with cloth covering for better comfort.

Also, the mid-foot has far too much room, even with an additional insole added and it laced as tight as possible. Even the heel area is probably too large, as well. So you do have good toe area and sufficient ankle hole width, but everything in between could be made more narrow for the possibility of a snug fit around the arch and top foot.

Sizing is a bit long in length. The insole measurement in centimeters should probably be your actual foot length rounded up to the nearest. So as a 26cm, I think I should have gone with the same, not a 27cm as recommended. Since I'm trying them with additional insoles right now, it works out and isn't too bad. The mid-foot is wide enough that the insoles I added don't totally fill out the mid-width zone near the arch.

I'll probably eventually get another pair of two of my exact size to try without additional gel insoles, along with some heavy-duty, thick tabi socks. I would prefer to have the option of a non-hi-top sneaker-like design, though I realize these are much less hi-top than usual jika-tabi.

Nonetheless, among the available options out right now (the Onitsuka Tiger (Asics) Marathon Tabi and Nike Air Rifts aren't easy to obtain) these Maruga Sports Jogs are still unquestionably a reasonable choice at the price I paid for road jogging, trail running, soccer, basketball, wresting, weightlifting, and everyday use... And of course for you budding ninjas.

Update: In retrospect, I don't think the shoe is really that overly long. I also find the toe width on the outside around the little toes to be no better than the Nike Air rifts. They could be more foot-shaped and actually taper *less*. The insole/midsole/outsole (don't care which) could be a little thicker... uniformally, of course. And the tread has a tendency to pick up and embed pepples and small rocks in it. This is easy to fix when you get back home. They've held up well so far, but I'm thinking a lower-drop neoprene Air Rift, even without the needed further refinement of its toe shape, would be superior for activies such as running and walking. It's hard to say how an improved Jika-Taba would compare. The thicker-soled (relative to the Classic and Sport) Vibram Five Fingers are also superior. Neither the Rifts nor the VFFs are quite as good at activities such as wrestling, crosstraining, etc. I am getting good use out of the high-top Marugos on my exercise equipment with ankle holders. Useful padding.

I have been practicing Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu for more than a year. As we do the great majority of our training outside, I needed a good pair of jikatabi that could take a beating. These definitely fit the bill. I have larger calves, so higher jikatabi do not fit me and size extenders are simply inconvenient. These boots are so comfortable, so form-fitting, and so rugged that I plan to buy another pair as soon as my current pair wear out. I even wear them hiking. I can't praise these enough. If you can't get your pair on Amazon, hunt them down.

I purchased this boot because it was low rise and had great features, such as ease of lacing. Also, the boot is very comfortable. The uppers are good looking and are made of quality materials. However, the soles wore through within a few weeks and very low miles walked. I use them to walk the dog every morning at 1-2 miles. To use a tire analogy, I bought what I thought was a 75,000 mile warranty and got 5,000 miles. The lugs in the middle of the sole are hollow, very thin, and when the thin outer tips wore through, water leaked in. Right now the boots appear to be brand new with the uppers looking like they came from the box, but the middle of the front sole has holes in it. The heal is not even worn. DO NO BUY THESE BOOTS!! OR AT LEAST THIS MODEL.

After reading reviews which recommended buying half a size larger, I ordered 9.5 sized shoes for myself. My size is 9. They are however, big for meit's only half an inch, but still, it is slightly uncomfortable. I do not want to go through the trouble of returning it and ordering a new pair.

The reviews which advised buying half a size larger are not that oldAugust 2012 and onwards, and so while it is possible that the manufacturer or distributor received similar complaints elsewhere and took remedial action, I think this is too small a time period for that to have occurred.

I give a 4 star review, because although I have some trouble with the fittingI'm not certain that this is the manufacturer's fault. To be fair, shoes are probably better bought in-person than online.

The shoes are well made, perfectly match their description, and I have worn them through several snowy/rainy days, and they were comfortable, and kept my feet dry enough. The interior of the shoe is cushioned and I had no trouble wearing them through 12+ hours at a time.

Honest reviews on Nevados Men's Klondike WP Low Hiking Boot

I've had the hiking boots for a few weeks; wanting to get the feel of them before writing a review. I bought these to replace another brand that wore out in about a year. The Nevados appear to be more robustly made than the prior boots, but only long term use will tell. So far I am satisfied with these hiking boots. After reading the other reviews, I did order a half size larger. The reviews were correct, the larger size fits well, and I think my normal size would have been too small. I didn't notice that these boots were any "harder" than expected. They are comfortable enough to wear for several hours when hiking on trails or walking on paved surfaces.

I bought these sneakers about 6 months ago. Initially, I was very impressed with them. They look great and are very comfortable. They are definitely waterfproof.... until the soles wore out. I am not a big guy, I only weigh 135 pounds. I wear these sneakers (AKA low hiking boots) about 4 or 5 days a week for 3 or 4 hours at a time, mostly when I get home from work. I did not use them for running, hiking or any kind of sporting activities. After 6 months of light use, the soles on both the left and the right sneaker started to develop holes. Last weekend, while walking to my car in a light rain, I realized that my feet were wet. It wasn't because the top part of the shoes were not waterproof, but rather the water was penetrating through the holes in the soles of the sneakers. I have other sneakers that are over 6 years old that I use for sporting activities and they have never developed holes in the soles. Bottom line... I would not purchase these again because they wore out much too quickly.

I wear a size 11 in most shoes. If it's any help as a reference, I have several pairs of Keens in all varieties (sandals, casuals, sneakers, boots) in size 11 and they fit PERFECTLY. My feet are fairly wide, and I've always had to go a half-size up with Nikes. I was able to get an 11 2E (wide) in this shoe, so I thought I might as well give it a try. No dice, still pinches my foot in the toe box. I had to return them. I suppose I could have tried exchanging for the 11.5's, but decided to keep shopping for something that fits my foot shape correctly.

My daughter wore these shoes for approx 4 hrs the first day and the stitching that holds the sole to the front of the shoe came loose. This stitching was a major consideration for buying this particular shoe. My kids, everyone else's I'm sure, drag the toe of their shoes whether crawling or just playing, so the stitching seemed that it would prevent the sole from seperating from the upper. The stitching can't stop this though if the first wearing breaks the stitch.

I REALLY loved the look of these shoes and so did my 5 yr old daughter. The only problem is, we purchase them July 31st, and by August 25th (or so) they have a hole in the toe. I know that kids are rough on shoes, but to not even last 1 month is ridiculous. She did not wear them everyday either-maybe 2-3 times a week, no joke. Although these shoes are highly adorable style & color wise, spare the expense and get something that lasts more than a few weeks.

I purchased these road bike shoes after my other pair of 12-year-old Shimanos finally saw their last days. I was happy with the old pair, so much so that I remained confident another pair of Shimanos would suffice to replace the previous ones. I have to say, I am by no means a professional cyclist I commute to work and sometimes complete long organized rides. Otherwise I do not participate in any serious "Tour De France" type road races. Because of this, I just wanted a comfortable pair of cycling shoes that wouldn't make my feet go numb and take a large chunk of cash. So far, these shoes have delivered. They have been very comfortable, and have worked well with my Shimano SPD pedals and cleats. I really prefer the velcro straps to a top buckle mounting to remove pressure points and these do just that but still feel snug and tight. Also, these shoes are somewhat stiff, with just a little bit of bend. I feel like am I am getting maximum energy output to pedal with them. I don't know the specific weight of these shoes but they are relatively light, but most likely heavier that some more expensive road cycling shoes. Lugging a few extra ounces on my feet hasn't been a problem for me however. The one issue I have is the open air vent in the bottom front of the shoe. Direct air ventilation is a nice feature to have during the summer, but if you live somewhere cold and wet you will not enjoy the ride as your toes will go numb from the chilly air and water. All in all the Shimano SH-R077 sport cycling shoe delivered exactly what I was looking for at a reasonable price.

Not a lot to say. They're shoes. My best advice is to buy big. I'm a 10.5 US mens so I ordered a size 44, which should have been a perfect fit. Not so much. Toes cramped up in the end. Returned to Bike Nashbar (great customer service, BTW) and got in a size 45. Fit like a glove. Took a couple of rides to figure out exactly how tight I wanted them (not too tight for me, thank you) and since then I've been very pleased. I've only had them for two weeks, but I've put about 250 miles on them and so far so good. I would recommend them to anyone looking for an inexpensive shoe but needs something comfortable for long rides.

My six year old wears between a 13 and 1 depending on the shoe, so I opted for the 13.5 size. The 13.5 is rather roomy in the toe and I feel she will wear out this shoe before she outgrows it, which is a good thing. Fortunately, the room up front doesn't rub or cause any blisters and she loves these shoes.

The picture shows hot pink shoe laces that match the pink on the shoe. What you don't see is that a second pair of laces come in blue that blend in with the top of the shoe. We wanted to do both colors of laces in each shoe, but the holes aren't big enough to allow that much thickness through so we opted to do pink in one shoe and blue in the other.

Kids and adults alike love the shoes and have complimented her on them. They are very lightweight and I would definitely recommend them.

I bought these shoes and a similar pair for husband on-line directly from the manufacturer (not through Amazon). They are very heavy so not comfortable while walking. My husband's right shoe makes a clicking sound everytime he walks. The shoes can only be returned in 'like new' condition, so once you try them, you are not able to return them. I've contacted the sellers twice and have not received a response. Also, I bought the wide width and they are still narrow. I can normally wear regular width, but prefer wide width. I am very disappointed in the quality and the company. They are like wearing bricks on your feet.

I like the throw back style and these shoes are way more comfortable than the addidas superstar 2. I have medium wide foot and these shoes were fine from the first time I put them on to present no real break in time needed which I cannot say for most of the adidas superstars I have purchased. The heel strike in the tiger is padded well compared to Adidas superstar. Now do not expect to be walking around on pillows it's not that kind of shoe if you want that order a premium asics running shoe.
