Great light hiking shoe
4 months ago
The Rocket DFS GTX are my go to light hiking shoes. They are comfortable all day long and perform well in mud as well as hot dusty conditions. Stability and fit were good on my narrow feet.

Pleased with this shoe
1 month ago
I wear shoes with Vibram soles due to joint instability and decided to give these a try. Also, full disclosure, I have flat feet and so always use orthotic arch supports from the orthopedist. That being said, I am very happy with these shoes. Another review described them as narrow but I would describe them more as having firm, all-around support. My feet are inclined to spread and I really like the secure structure of these shoes. I used them for urban hiking and feel like I have more energy when wearing these shoes.
