Terrific shoe: I have purchased 3 pairs of this shoe in the past 2 years. The first pair I used to walk 500 miles on the Camino de Santiago-Frances. The 2nd pair I walked 200 miles on the Camino de Santiago-Portuguese. And the 3rd pair I recently purchased for casual wear and just knocking around. (iIve also had many other Oboz shoes for hiking and they've all been great.
My favorite shoes to wear. Have all three colors. Please add more colors.

Great rucking shoes
I just finished a 45 mile backpacking trip carrying 30+ lb pack in the Central Cascades (WA State), and these shoes were phenomenal! Would give 6 stars if I could.Cushion and comfort right out of the box was evident. The fit was great - heel locked in place and there was plenty of room in the forefoot without being sloppy. It was very stable over rocky terrain and had excellent grip during technical scree field crossings. The carbon plate proved valuable during these rocky sections for the underfoot protection. The gator channel on the outsole is another nice touch that also provides a little extra heel brake. A small detail that I really appreciated - high quality laces. They are static (don't stretch) and stayed securely tied with the desired tightness during long days on the trail. It's been a while since a pair of hiking shoes has really "wow'd" me, but these really blew me away. Would recommend going 1/2 size up. I typically wear a 11. 5, but went with a 12.

So I always bought Hoka. I recently bought several pairs and returned all of them. They must have changed their lasts or something. They were all too narrow and the wides were too wide. I love these. I only gave them 4 stars because they are too expensive IMHO.
Highly Recommend: First noticed walking comfort. Have since been able to take in some hikes. Excellent comfort is matched by support and grip. Lightweight shoes made hiking all the breezier!
