I ordered New Balance FuelCore Coast V4 men's running shoes. Actually two couples. I switch between them. I'm a heavy hiker and runner, at least 5 miles a day. The shoes are holding up well. When they get dirty/muddy from the trails I wash them in the sink with soap and water and lay them out to dry. In the morning they are dry. The soles wear out after many kilometers, but I punish mine. If you are a casual hiker I would definitely recommend them. If you're good at exercising, get two pairs so you can switch between them.
