These shoes are comfortable and well built. I ordered them a half size larger than my usual size to account for long walks and swollen feet. Perfect fit for me. They look as though they’ll last for years but they feel almost like slippers when you put them on. I’m wearing them now on a trip to Norway and Scotland and have had no issues. I’m glad I ignored the negative reviews posted by some custom Ken · REI
