So far, after an hour plus Walk with the dog on mixed surfaces (concrete, dirt, gravel), good results. I would not recommend these for wide feet, But they have a decent sized toe box for my medium to narrow feet. I really appreciate the not hideous colors, laces that stay laced, the extra lacing hole at the ankles. Basically I was looking for a combination of stability and a. firmer cushion that will be NOT be completely kaput in 4 months. That was definitely the case with Hokas, Altras, and to a lesser extent, the Brooks Cascadia. I think these are going to do the trick for everything except hiking trails that require ankle support or rock-resisting hard sole. Love that they are pfas free.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I found this shoe to run large. I was hoping for a tennis shoe to wear with or without socks but this one was too big to wear without socks. It ran pretty long, I have an entire inch from my big toe to the end of the shoe. I ordered my usual size, 9. 5. My heel slips up and down when I walk. I Have to wear socks to take up the extra space and added a padded insert. I don't find them that comfortable for walking any distances but am wearing them to the gym for weights no cardio work and they are fine. Not worth sending back.
I’ve worn Keens size 9.5 for years, but these run large. Size 9 fits me perfectly. I love the green color.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far the Leak Speed hiker is doing the job. I wear them to do chores, check my fields, walk the dog, etc. I am 78 and started having some foot problems a few years ago. Used to hike as much as 30 mies in a day around Lake Tahoe. I alternate between the Leiki and my Targhees. Have tied other shoes, but these are the best I have found. Like the olive color as it doesn't show the dirt.
