10 Hour Volcano Hike a Success! No foot pain after trekking all day long!!
I am headed to Costa Rica in 4 weeks and since i had seen that another reviewer had bought these for the exact same reason I went ahead and placed my order. Shipping: I don't have amazon prime and had expected this to take a week but I placed this order on a Friday, requested regular delivery and they arrived that Tuesday. Now, I am only 45 minutes away from an amazon distribution center so this may be why but I will be rating shipping 10/10 Look: I really only bought them for my trip, I usually find this type if shoe really unappealing and was hesitant on buying them but was really pleasantly surprised by how stylish they were, they appear kind of bulky but are super light weight! I even have my Mom and sister wanting me to buy them a pair ;) I'll rate this a 9/10 just because i felt the color options were limiting. Fitment & Comfort: I usually wear a 7.5 and have a narrow foot and these do not seem to come in half sizes. I was hesitant but went ahead and ordered a size up to an 8, thank God shoe fits perfectly! I even decided to wear them around to "break them in" but haven't experienced the usual pain and blisters when I do buy shoes, and I'm a server so I wore these on a double and had no foot pain what so ever! my mom however, has a wider foot and wears a 9, She tried mine on and i would say that a 9 would have fit her perfectly. My advice? If you have a narrow foot go with a size up, and if your foot is wide stick to your regular size! My rating on this is a 9/10 as well just because I feel the sole of the shoe could have been made a bit softer. I'll be buying another pair for my mom!! I'll also update this after the trip since i noticed a review that complained about them not holding up for more than 6 weeks. ******UPDATE********* I decided to embark on a 10 hour Volcano Hike, These shoes held up the whole time i was climbing and sliding up through the jungle, and also on a muddy and heavy hike back down, we went swimming in a crater and all the mud just washed right off them. It was amazing! I had no pain the whole time and even the next day the only sore thing was my legs and arms. I can officially say that I LOVE THESE THINGS!!
