I am a hiker and plan to hike in the Grand Canyon to phantom
ranch. I hike apox. 30 miles a week. Would these shoes be good
for my type of hiking or would you recommend some other trail
shoe. I have flat feet, size 8 width C. If I order the shoes should
I get a 1/2 or one size larger?.

I hike in the La Sportiva FC 1.1 and also the La Sportiva Lynx. If your trails are rocky and have a lot of talus/scree I would go with the FC 1.1. If you plan on doing a bit of running and hiking on the same day the Lynx is a great shoe for both. However, keep in mind if you are carrying a load—go with the FC 1.1. Hope this helps.

This is more of a trail running rather than hiking shoe. I would suggest going with a more hiking specific, mid top to high top boot that will offer more support and last longer.
