I have a 2 year old pair of Shark Gray Mojitos and recently bought myself a pair of Blue Lakes as a Christmas present. They are very comfortable - I wear them with shorts and jeans all year round. Shoes run a bit small - I usually wear an 8.5 or 9 and this is a 9.5 (EU size 42.5). I've used them for light hikes, but they're usually my go-to shoes for everyday wear, trips to the mall, walks in DC, and any other "just party" activity. Mojitos draw a lot of attention, especially the blue pair. I like the way they look - a nice mix of tech and everyday. One thing I noticed about the shoes is that they look very high quality. The Shark Grays didn't split seams, the bonded rubber didn't start to come loose, and sole wear was minimal for the miles I've ridden them. Of course, these are expensive shoes, especially when you pay $150 full price. I respectfully paid $89 and $110 for mine - prices that are a little easier to swallow. All in all a comfortable, well made and good looking shoe that is great for around town or kicking up a bit of dust on a short walk.
