OK, maybe I'm not an expert, but if I were you, I'd give a second thought before buying these shoes. I think TNF should stay away from making shoes and keep their OK line of trendy "outdoor" gear. When you pay this much for shoes you should get quality and all you get here is Vibram Sole (2 thumbs up!!), Gore-Tex XCR membrain (can't beat that!!) and the rest is crappy craftsmanship from TNF: 1. What's up with skinny laces? I'ts almost impossible to tighten them up and when you finally do, then comes #2 2. Top of the shoes has bad stiching that vary painfully digs into the top of yous foot no matter how you try to lace or adjust them. Just for comparison, most of professional shoe making companies DO pay attention to that and insert THIN materials there to prevent the problem, but no, the TNF decided just to stitch them up and send on market, like they do lately with all their gear. So concluding it all I'd stay away and spend same money on less "famous" brand name but more respected.
