This is one time where I should have paid attention to the reviews. A lot of people have complained about how narrow and snug these are and well, add one more to the list. I do not have wide feet nor have I ever worn a wide size. Like someone else said, I really wanted to love these shoes because they look awesome! But it has been like trying to love someone whom you know is no good for you. I have tried and tried. They are so tight, they feel like they are strangling your feet. My big toe feels like the piggy whose roof is caving on top and of him, the sole is hard plastic - not flexible rubber. No grip and like Bon Jovi would say "Slippery when wet.” As someone else’s said, I thought I could stretch them out with time. Nope. After a week - still tight as hell. They look very cool but are not very comfortable. Hiking you say? I can’t even wear them half a day ! I wish the manufacturer would read all these comments and make an adjustment.
