text: Have used the shoe on 4 hikes so far, and really have nothing to complain about.  I did take them on a 20 mile backpacking trip last week and wasn't sore at all until the end of the second day when we hiked 13 miles, and fortunately my feet just felt raw on the soles from walking so much with a 35 lb pack, but I didn't get one blister and my feet were fine by that evening, just a little raw which is to be expected.  The only reason I didn't give the shoes a 5 star rating is that I think they aren't as cool looking as some other hiking shoes, and they look a little wide and boxy, and also they are not goretex or truly waterproof, but for the money ($130) they have been a great investment so far.
