Comfy in a pinch and a great value!
I was looking for a new hiking shoe under $50 for a trip to Joshua Tree National Park. I didn’t have time to shop in person, nor did I have enough time to wait 5-10 days for an online order to arrive. I took a chance and ordered the grey & pink colorway in a size 7. My feet are pretty average and range in size between a 7 and 7.5. These hiking sneakers arrived quickly and fit perfectly! They held up great stepping onto and across the large boulders of Joshua Tree (and dried quickly after a rain storm passed through)…see photo my 2-year old took. In the same trip we took the Palm Springs aerial tram up to the top of Mt. San Jacinto and walked around in the snow at the top which had fallen the night before. Oddly enough, my feet stayed warm and dry and they had great grip…I didn’t slip once! I plan on using them as my regular, light hiking sneakers. I don’t know how they would hold up on tougher terrain, but they were great in the Southern California desert, and would work well on a marked trail.

Walked and hiked 100 miles in these!
Quick and dirty summary - These shoes were absolutely fantastic for daily wear and hiking for the price! I put these shoes through ~100 miles of walking/hiking in a tropical climate. I never got blisters and my shoes were always dry. I'll be using these again for the next vacation in a wet or humid location.Full ReviewMy last vacation in a humid climate, my regular shoes never completely dried out the entire trip. My feet were perpetually pickled and the smell comimg from my feet probably could have killed small mammals. Having learned my lesson, I bought these shoes to be my quick drying, daily wear shoes during my 2 week backpacking trip through Thailand.AND SWEET MOTHER OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN THESE SHOES WERE PERFECT!I walked for hours through city streets. I hiked through miles of rugged jungle terrain. I even walked on the beach. Over the course 15 days, I put about 100 miles on these shoes and they're the best frickin' $45 hiking shoes I've ever used. The shoes stayed intact and I didn't get a single blister. Best of all, my feet stayed dry and not smelly!My only con was the fact that the heel of the shoe could sometimes be difficult to slip on. On the other hand, my heel was comfortably snug and secure once in the shoe. As these shoes are significantly cheaper than any other similar shoe I could find on Amazon, I didn't think it was that big of a deal.As they're designed to be affordable and dry quickly, these shoes aren't as supportive as a full blown hiking shoes, but they're still very adequate. I hiked 16 miles in 1 day and my feet only started to ache towards the last couple of miles (which sometimes still happens to me with more expensive hiking shoes on long hikes).So in summary, these are great shoes if you're looking for cheaper quick dry shoes that still perform well for hiking or lots of walking. They'll be getting used again when I go to the Galapagos Islands later on this year.

From Airport To The Rapids
I bought these shoes because I needed a good travel shoe, a hiking AND water shoe. I didn't realize I needed this until I saw an advertisement for a similar shoe which was over $100. I have Chacos (sandals) and hiking boots. Both good for some water but needed something to cover my toes without the bulk. These shoes were great. They were comfortable through the airport, and the next day I wore them white water rafting on a Class 1-3 river in CO. I liked the size when they were dry but were a little too big when I wore them on the river. I should have ordered down a size (I wear a 10 with ortho insert and could have ordered a 9.0 instead of a 9.5.) The shoe is super light weight and has good traction on the bottom. We had to hike through some water to get to the Falls we were trying to reach and worked well for this too, and they dried quickly so I didn't have to change shoes nor soak the floor mat. I normally wear an insert in my workout shoes but didn't notice any problems without the inserts while wearing these. I'm not saying they were major supportive, but the padded insert was definitely comfortable enough. I also did not get any blisters and I wasn't wearing them with socks either. If I were to make any changes to this shoe it might be to change the laces to zip-tie vs shoe string style. I folded the excess laces under the front of the laces by the toes and it worked just fine for slipping on and off but would have preferred not to have to do that. (Yes, I do know that you can buy those types of laces separate but many other shoes like these, at the same price, don't make you do that.) To be fair, I will say I haven't bought any other pairs and do not know if they are as good as these otherwise so maybe buying the laces separate may be worth it. It's hard to tell how a shoe will work and try not to get sucked into all the "pretty colors" different brands have to offer. Either way, I definitely thought they were worth what I paid. Good Luck!

Best for river and lake stuff
I got these for a trip to Belize where we'd be walking a lot and intermittently in and out of low rivers and water. Comfortable, worked perfectly, quick drying. I love them!!!Yes laces are too long but easily tucked in.

Once in, I like these shoes
Comfy and stylish. I also appreciate the mesh construction, keeps my feet from overheating. However, it's a pain to get these shoes on. Even untying the laces, the mouth of the shoe doesn't get big enough to easily put your foot in the shoe. I really struggle to get these shoes on. If I had to buy these again, I wouldn't.

Disappointed
I usually wear a 8.5 & sized up to a 9 in women's but when I got these they were like 2x my shoe size the white line in the first photo is where my big toe ends.. maybe is my error or the shoes just run large regardless the seem like good shoes, love the color &, comfortable. I returned these.

Amazing for hiking through rocky terrain and water
Great pair of shoes, exactly what I needed. Just hiked through rocky and wet caves in Vietnam; walked through rivers up to my hips, hiked up a few mountains there, didn’t have any issues with them. Comfortable. They exceeded my expectations for sure!
