Got these for a trip I was taking to the BVI. The were perfect to travel with (very light and collapsible), great for hikes (good support and cushion), and perfect for a carefree stroll through a rainstorm (water drains right out of them). However, their one shortcoming is that these are not beach shoes. Sand gets in them VERY quickly, and once it's in, you've got to take them off and wash them to get it out. Barring that one disclaimer - and the observation that they do not keep your feet warm if you are in cooler climes - these are great all-around summer hiking/outdoors shoes. I didn't have any issues with chafing or a bad smell as reported by other users - and that's wearing them barefoot most of the time. The lace up system is great, and the collapsible heel makes them perfect as deck loafers. Bottom line - very versatile, very comfortable, and great styling. Highly recommended!

Quite an incredible jacket - great cut, incredibly warm, and works well for both bushwhacking and a casual night in the city. The one thing about it that was unexpected was the texture of the fabric. Not quite like anything I've owned before - and while it's as soft (if not softer) than most fleece, it looks a like a gunny sack. Look of the fabric aside, this was a great investment and I'll definitely be wearing it all the time once this endless summer of 2007 finally winds down...
