I live in Moab and do a lot of hiking. These shoes are poorly designed and I would not have purcashed them if i had tried them on in a store. The design of the lace system does not allow for a good fit over the top of the foot where you tie the shoe. They feel too much like slippers and my feet move around in them too much. They need to have eyelets higher up on the shoe to make it more snug to the top of the foot. I have a normal 10.5 foot.
