Husband thought I was nuts to order these for him. But I forced him to pull them on (they don't tie) and after walking around for 10 minutes he said he really thought they are comfortable and cushion his walk on our hard tile floors.

First off, I wear a size 14 in most shoes, including Five Ten Freerider mountain biking shoes. These are only made up to a 13. I heard that they come a little large though and decided to try them out. I'm not sure if this is true across all sizes, but the 13 is more like a 13.75. They ended up fitting me very well. So, be careful on the size.
The main reason I bought these though is that I LOVE the Stealth rubber soles on my MTB shoes and wanted to try out a pair of hiking/approach shoes from Five Ten. Even though the tread pattern doesn't look terribly aggressive, these are the best gripping trail shoes I've owned. They are comfortable all around with a reasonably wide toe box and good cushioning at the top of the tongue and under the ankle. The soles are stiff and took a little while to break in. I still wouldn't say they've "softened" all that much though. The bottom of the shoe is pretty stiff and the inner sole is not very cushy. They are comfortable for wearing all day though. I recently traveled with them for 10 days as my only pair of shoes both walking around town and hiking. So, they're fine. If you like a soft sole or lots of padding though, these are definitely not for you.
The only complaint I have is that these shoes do not breathe well at all. They're mostly a soft leather with a little bit of mesh. The mesh is thick though. My feet get hot in lots of shoes, but these are very hot. The flip side is that they do a decent job of keeping moisture out. During rainy hikes, my feet have stayed pretty dry. For me, the durability is nice. I've beaten up a lot of shoes hiking and I can tell these are going to hold up well. They're very well made and solid.
Overall, I really like these shoes. You just have to be good with the tradeoffs. They choose durability, grip and stiffness over being lightweight and breathable. And I feel like I should repeat that they are not cushy. They have stiff soles, but flex enough to walk around in all day no matter what the terrain. Give them a try if that's what you're after.

Fits as expected but remember converse sizes are one size off. Dont just buy them unless you know what size converse you are.
Reviewer Robert J Melton
These ran a little small but after wearing them for a few days they fit perfectly. These are very comfortable and I love the look.

The shoes were purchased for me by my beautiful wife who has great taste, we were watching a football game and she asked if I liked the style of shoe. Three days later I had the shoes and they are of great quality and so comfortable! I would recommend these shoes. 5 stars!!

Reviewer JMcanton79
These are nice shoes that fit better and are more comfortable than shoes that cost twice as much! These are keepers.
