ROCKROOSTER Farland Waterproof Hiking Shoes for Men, 4" Non-Slip Outdoor Trekking Shoes, Anti-Fatigue, Comfortable (KS252 KS253)

had to return/exchange

So I expect them to say I’m out of luck and cannot return.

wear

After wearing shoes for about one month one has a tear in it by the seem this is from walking not because they got caught on something and ripped.

walking

small-size

Narrow fit
it was too small nice shoes if they fit

running shoe

First off I should say if you are looking for trail running shoes these aren't it:  They are heavy.

slippery

while something as large as a puddle of syrup your going to slip in you dont have to worry about it getting inside and onto your socks.

but it does stop slipping on smaller water and oil puddles.

trail shoe

but these are great trail shoes
I almost never write reviews, but I wanted to write one for these trail shoes.

The quality is obviously there, the arch support and general comfort is fantastic, and they are a good choice if you need a nearly slip-on sturdy trail shoe for more level hikes when you don't need the ankle support of a real boot.

boot

That said that heaviness is familiar for any of us who regularly don real trail boots, and these are a great compromise.

size

They run really small
4 stars because the extreme discrepancy in sizing.

I ended up returning my size 10 womens (I typically wear 9.5 and go to 10 for things like running shoes and hiking footwear) and instead got a MENs size 10.5!

The womens sizes didn’t go up high enough/have higher sizes available.

I ended up getting the womens equivalent of a size 11.5 which is kind of insane to me

They run really slender, so if you have really skinny feet (I’d say my feet are very much average slenderness) maybe you don’t need to size up more than a half size.

But the womens 10s for me weren’t long enough either, so either way, size up!

sizing

The sizing is a little tricky which is why I am writing this review in the hopes it helps someone else.

trail running

though my husband's Solmon trail runners slipped several times.

spouse

The mid-foot is snug when laced up tight and my otherwise normal heel doesn't slip with normal lacing techniques (I didn't need to tie it with the heel lock technique).

Comfortable trail shoe
Bought these shoes in a different color because I already had a pair and love them.

So glad I landed on these La Sportiva Trail Shoes.

For my narrow foot, the fit is great and I can stand longer in these than other shoes.

The fit is excellent -- low volume forefoot means my foot isn't swimming

but now that I have them in a size that fits I love them.

I ordered the 9/10 and they fit perfectly!

comfortable

I can wear them for a 16 hour workday with zero discomfort.

They're so comfortable I haven't taken them off yet.
