Awsome shoes, runs large!

I also bought these shoes for kayaking and since it's my first pair of water shoes I did not know what to expect. To my surprise the shoes are very comfortable so I can take them on a light hike and they look great on the foot too! They have a plastic sole with small holes in it to let the water out, but it's not at all bothersome as it actually feels rather nice on the bare foot. With a sock, it's like you have snickers on. The shoes run a bit large though, so order half a size smaller. I am a 9 for elegant shoes and a 9.5 for hiking shoes/boots, and I had to return my size 9 pair to exchange it for an 8.5 size. I will definitely use these North Face Padda as my secondary pair of hiking shoes, and maybe even wear them once or twice in the city as they really look cool.

Me too. I agree with this entire review. I love these but they are too big for me. I hike in mine and where them in the city when it down pours. These take the worry out of the weather forecast for whatever you need to do. Too bad I can't get away with wearing them to the office.
