I used the men's version of these shoes to hike the 3 Mountain Challenge last year which was 38 miles and 12,000 feet of vertical gain over 3 peaks and they were great. I didn't have any issues with blisters. However, they do have a mesh upper and that allows some fine sand to accumulate in the shoe, so if you're hiking in sand you may want to stop and empty the shoe occasionally, otherwise the sand in your shoe can cause blisters.
