text: A very good shoe, and the Amazon price made it better. I was able to get it for about $40 off what other stores were asking for it. I like it as an everyday shoe, but I bought it for the hiking that I did on my last trip to France. The shoe works great outdoors in the hills as well as in the city setting of Paris. It also goes well with jeans or khakis. It fit just as the size said (D) for standard, had to Google that one. The shoe is very high quality in both the tread and the laces. This brand came recommend through some of my friends, and so far it has not disappointed.
