Detailed Review
This hiking shoe truly shines in comfort thanks to its lightweight construction, making it a great choice for those extended treks.
The BDry technology is particularly impressive as it effectively shields your foot from moisture, which means you can confidently tackle trails even when the weather doesn't cooperate. Coupled with the BLevel technology, these shoes allow for natural foot movement, promoting better posture while reducing strain during long hikes.
When it comes to traction, the BGrip outsoles excel, providing excellent grip on both slick and uneven terrain, making you feel grounded no matter where your adventure takes you.
However, potential buyers should note that while the shoe offers a great fit for most, those requiring higher arch support may find it lacking. Additionally, the pull-on design, while convenient, might not be everyone's favorite choice.

User Reviews
+Really comfortable+Durable+Slip on+Decent supportLove these shoes. If I were doing serious hiking I would get a more aggressive hiking boot but for everyday use these are great.
Over the years I have worn a lot of lace up hiking boots and shoes. So I decided to give these slip-on hiking shoes a try. I really like the look and style of the shoes. The slip-on style has some drawbacks, as I found it a little hard to slip them on and take off (the two finger loops really helps when putting them on). The fit is snug around the ankle, as the top of the shoe has a reinforced elastic band around it. This design will help keep the shoe from slipping while walking. As far as sizes go I normally wear a 10.5, but ordered a size 11 to allow for a heavier weight of socks.
My husband says these shoes are so comfortable that he is wearing them as his everyday shoes.
I love the fact they're slip on, but are very supportive.
Confy, and light. Good cushion
These fit very well, and the lacing system is great. They are just average in terms of comfort though, and I would have liked for them to have a little more cushioning. Still, the traction is top-notch, and they aren't too heavy. As best I can tell, they are water resistant, but I haven't worn them out in the rain yet to put them to the test. I will say, that these are nice looking hiking shoes, so if style is more your thing, go for these!
Extremely durable well made hiking shoes perfect for those outdoor trails and because they are light makes hiking all the more enjoyable. Great traction and outer soles that seem to last!
I love these shoes. The size is exactly what I expected and they are very comfortable. I have used them for a while and sometimes for an extended amount of hours. My feet don't hurt whether I spend a lot of time sitting (driving) or walking with these shoes.They feel firm and sturdy.The color is a perfect match to combine with a pair of jeans, khaki/beige/black/olive pants, or shorts.
