Praise vs. Criticism
good shoe for comfortable hiking.
I like the shoes very much but they have two problems with regards to scrambling or climbing:
1. they don't tighten behind the foot , pulling your foot into the shoe a little tighter for climbing.
2. vibram soles, excellent durable grippy soles for hiking in all weathers but not always sticky enough for scrambling or climbing

I was unlucky
Great customer service.
After circa 200 miles of country road walking, the heel lining on both shoes frayed and because detached.
I may have been unlucky.
The shoes are the best I've ever worn in terms of comfort. The build quality (on the inner heel) wasn't durable.
Seller promptly addressed my concerns and I'm very happy with their professional dealing with my concerns.
Although I really like the shoes, I cannot recommend them, sorry.
Thank you
Duncan
