So far I've done several day hikes in these shoes in muddy conditions. So far the shoe has held up well and protected better than I thought. I have narrow feet and these shoes fit perfectly as there is a little more room in the toe area for my toes to spread out. These shoes dry quickly and are comfortable without socks. These shoes offer no support and you can feel the ground through the shoe very well which is a plus for me but don't buy these if you expect cushioning.
