I have purchased this shoe for long day hikes and a multi-day trek I'm taking this Fall. After buying and then discarding another shoe from a different brand, I discovered Vasque and was so satisfied with a low hiking boot, I tried this one for the ankle support I'll need. Strong, durable, and requiring no break-in, these shoes feel like cushioned tennis shoes. I wore them for a half day hike out of the box and no hot spots. To give enough room for heavy socks and toe room, I ordered half a size bigger. I have wide-ish feet, but that has given me zero trouble (there are plenty of eyelets to give you multiple lacing options to accommodate for swelling feet at the end of the day).
