Stable traction and water proof for walking in damp conditions.

Definitely more stable then trail shoes for about the same weight,

About the best everyday shoe I have ever had

hiking

Unbelievably Spectacular Hiking Shoe (that is almost always on backorder)!

While shoes above all other products are difficult to buy online, since the fit and feel is very personal and you really never know if it's a good fit for you until you actually try on a pair, I have to say that - for me -the Dragontail Tech GTX hiking shoe is the hands-down, absolute BEST hiking/approach shoe I have ever worn!

Good hiking shoes
These are good quality hiking shoes.

but stiff enough for hiking rocky trails.

uncomfortable

Tighter lacing is uncomfortable and doesn't solve the problem.

As a result, the shoe slips considerably in the heel.

While the toebox on this Terraventure is consistent with other Topos models, I discovered on my first hike that the heel is not similarly narrow.

You can feel the entire sole making contact with the ground below, which gives an extremely supportive and steady feeling.

I use them for walking and for me, they are a very comfortable shoe for daily use too.

shoe-box

I love the wide toe box and narrow heel, and they fit me beautifully.

I tried them on and OMG, comfort right out of the box!!!

The toe box is very roomy like the Altra's as well.

supportive

Supportive, Comfortable, and Waterproof
I rely heavily on Amazon product reviews, so I was little hesitant to purchase these for $150 with no reviews.

They feel way more supportive than the Altra's in that, they feel like they are hugging your foot.
