I was surprised by the look of these. I like them, but my wife's first question was "Are those made from the recycling?" I suppose the wool lining and speckled overall appearance make them look a bit that way. Altogether I like the design quite a bit, especially the varied textures and coloring, though I don't particularly like the little tab that runs perpendicular up the toe. The tread is varied and definitely substantial, it's clear that these are meant for hiking or trail running.The fit was just as expected, and they are quite comfortable. I haven't noticed any difficult areas with wear-in. The tread can be a bit weird when walking on concrete, I generally try to wear them when I won't be. I haven't had a chance to wear these when it's been a bit wet out, but ... MoreI was surprised by the look of these. I like them, but my wife's first question was "Are those made from the recycling?"

I haven't had a chance to wear these when it's been a bit wet out, but it does seem like they would resist moisture reasonably and are relatively warm.Overall I like the look and functionality of these. They're definitely not for daily wear, but I don't know that they're intended to be. Aside from a small gripe about the little protrusion on the toe, there's not really anything I don't like about them.

I love these shoes. And I say that as someone that isn't really a big shoe guy. Most of my casual shoes are maybe a bit more stylish than these but none of them come even remotely close to these in comfort. They fit true to size and felt broken in right out of the box. There's lots of padding in the sole and (my favorite part) a really cushy collar around your ankle. They really just feel great on your feet - I work from home a lot and I have found myself wearing these instead of my slippers a lot, which really says something.They are also very well put together - lots of grip on the bottom of the shoe and quality materials throughout. These are definitely shoes you can wear every day for a wide variety of indoor and outdoor activities - they seem sturdy enough ... MoreI love these shoes.

These are definitely shoes you can wear every day for a wide variety of indoor and outdoor activities - they seem sturdy enough for light hiking and they look nice enough to wear anywhere that sneakers are socially acceptable. The only minor nit I have, visually, is with one of the colors on the Black/Anthracite/Orange/Canvas shoes - the sole of the shoe is an off-white color that is the color that my shoes tend to turn when they're old and dirty. The benefit there is that these won't change in appearance much as you wear them the way a bright white shoe would...but I think there may have been better colors to use to hide the dirt without looking dirty.From a sustainability standpoint, these shoes claim to be made of at least 20% recycled materials. While that isn't an overwhelming percentage, it is certainly better than nothing, and there's no compromise in quality, comfort, or durability evident to achieve that. Definitely a step in the right direction.Overall, I couldn't recommend these shoes more. I haven't worn a shoe this comfortable in a long time and they have taken over as my top daily choice - you won't be disappointed.

The fit and feel of the shoe is great! I wear a size 10 and these shoes are true to size. I love how it’s made out of recyclable materials and quality of the shoes will trick you to think otherwise. As for the design, I love how it looks outdoorsy / trail-ish without looking too bulky. The design works well with both long pants or shorts, although I wouldn’t wear it to any semi-formal event with it.The comfort of the shoe is amazing. The free sole really makes a huge difference in comfort. I wore it all day in Santa Barbara and not once did my feet feel tired. The free bottom is very unique. It’s much more durable than the free run soles but it still provides a great amount of flexibility.My favorite part of the shoe is how easy it is to wear, from a style, ... MoreThe fit and feel of the shoe is great!

You don’t have to question it’s comfort and know it will provide the comfort and grip you need for all day wear.Although I really love the shoes, there are two things I would suggest improving. The first is the interior material. Right now, it’s some sort of fleece material. After the first day of wearing it, you can see some wear and pelting on the inside heel area. I would change it to normal, typical shoe fabric on the inside. The second thing I would change is the style of the shoe laces. The current ones are round and they come off way too easily. I’ve probably tied it 5 times throughout the day because it came untied by itself. I would suggest changing it to a flat style shoe lace.Overall, I really love the shoes and it will be in my weekly rotation.
