BAD SHOES - READ THIS BEFORE BUYING

I've ridden them about 250 miles and these shoes are terrible for two main reasons. 1) This is a pair of scissors. I wear socks and if they slide down too low and the sneakers touch my skin, it doesn't take long for my ankle to get completely wet. I've had them twice, the first time bursting completely and bleeding in a way I didn't expect. 2) The big problem is all the support is messed up, it's so bad I think I have a bad pair. There is absolutely no arch support, instead there is a huge bump under the ball of the big toe. I think it's the arch support but it was sealed or molded in the wrong place. This causes my legs to roll out and run on the sides of my foot. When I try to walk normally, all the pressure is on the ball of my big toe. However, my feet hurt like hell, especially my big toes. 3) As others have said they get hot but not a problem for me as I live in a cold and humid climate but worth mentioning. I did a couple of 90 degree hikes and it was unbearably hot. So don't buy them for hot climates or summer hikes. Any temperature below 75 degrees Fahrenheit is normal. Today I throw them away and regret buying them, I gave up cracking them. I have hiking shoes from another brand on the way. I'm using these 3 days of downtime to heal my sore feet and ankle scabs. Save yourself some money and inconvenience by buying another brand.
