text: These shoes fit me well, which is why I kept them.  HOWEVER, they have a flexible sole with very little foot support of any kind.  They are softer and less supportive than many running shoes, and only slightly better than house slippers.  Wear them for house-slipper tasks and they're OK.  Try to wear them on a real trail or any other uneven terrain and you're asking for rolled ankles and other foot injuries.  Don't buy these if you intend any sort of real hiking or walking on any trail that is rougher than a new sidewalk.
