Garmont Women's Scirocco Hiking Shoe

After trying these around the house, I decided to return them. They seemed quite stiff, with a narrow heel, and not much flexibility. Color was ok though, don't be scared about that!

I love these shoes. The photo does not show the true colors - more like a yellow-chartreuse green with very light brown trim, but I like the color combo. Running my dog kennel I am on my feet all day long and walk dogs several times a day. These shoes stand up to the wear and tear and are extremely comfortable. I would buy more pairs as replacements when my first pair finally wear out, but my size is no longer available.

The green doesn't bother me at all, but I'm all for fun color shoes. The fit does bother me. They bother the balls of my feet a little and there is no support at the arch for my foot. it took me a while to adjust the laces so they felt ok on, but even then they still were uncomfortable. The lace part at the top kind of rubs the top of my foot, or something. also, by the time I was done adjusting, the laces were almost too short to tie in a comfortable tightness level, since the tongue is so puffy.
There's also too much room in the toe area for my taste.
a shoe insole might help make them feel better, but I wont be wearing them as is. I will probably just return them.
They were at a pretty low price, but still not worth it for me.

I was interested in these shoes since they are a good brand for a really good price. The reviews worried me though. I ordered a half size down which works well as long as I don't wear super-thick socks. The other reviewers were right about the colors. The picture and color description of fern/silver is way off. The green is more of a neon, though it's not shiny so it's not horrible. It covers about half the shoe and is a meshy material. The "silver" is definitely taupe. So the color combo is not great. The styling of the shoe is nice besides the colors. Since I won't be wearing them daily and can live with the colors, I'm keeping them. So far they feel comfortable and I think as they break in, they will feel even better and look better too (to me, new hiking shoes always look kind of dorky).

I wore these shoes on an overnight field trip in the pouring rain. My feet stayed relatively dry and when they did get wet, the shoes dried in about 45 minutes. My feet never got sore! I'm looking to get another pair just to have.
