Pros: Breathable, quick break in period, great rubber (see below), durable

Cons: Fairly wide, lacing system slips, not very supportive, s

These shoes handle every thing I can throw at them. They are great dry condition shoes, not so great in wet conditions. My big problem is the foot bed is very flat, and at the end of a 30 mile day, they just dont get the job done. Short (<10 miles) hikes are right in this shoe's wheelhouse. I try and hike fast and light, so boots dont really play into my situation. If you have wide feet and live in the desert, these shoes are for you. If you have flat feet and live in a damp area or a place with winter melt until June, might want to look elsewhere.
