I was a little hesitant when I bought these shoes but was still excited to try them when the box arrived and I quickly put them on. It was weird at first and it took me a minute to get my toes in the right spot, but I was very impressed. When I got them I was working in a Boy Scout camp as a High Adventure Guide. We've done a lot of rock climbing, rafting, and white water rafting, as well as deep forest and trail hiking. and these shoes preformed without problems. It took my feet about two weeks of non-stop wear to adjust and they stretched my toes a bit, but overall they worked as well as any climbing shoe I've ever bought, better than any climbing shoe I've ever bought . bought and as for trekking they were perfect. worth the money i spent on them
