text: These shoes held up great, did a backpacking trip in the Sierras in late summer. Was kind of worried about bringing a pair of shoes instead of boots. They held up in almost all the terrain!!<br />(except going downhill on steep rocky terrain, thought i was going to sprain an ankle, thankfully I didn't, However I would not recommend these if you anticipate rocky terrain, no ankle support and you could roll and ankle pretty easily, although I guess that risk goes with any kind of low ankle hiking shoe)
