I've taken this on a couple of trail runs and hikes, and overall it is a great shoe. I have also received a number of compliments on it.

I didn't rate it 5 stars because the way the "sock" is designed, it irritates my foot/ankle and requires me to wear ankle-height socks when wearing them or risk blisters. I feel like that takes away from the intent of the shoe design both functionally and visually.

Finally, a quick note about the recycled PET material...it SMELLS. It was a solid month before the shoes stopped off-gassing and stinking up my closet. Be prepared.

I like the look of these shoes and the body of the shoe is fine in terms of size. However, the opening of the shoe does not have enough stretch and really cuts into my foot. Given the materials, I'm not sure they will relax over time either. There is also something hard at the heel which left my foot sore too. The latter may 'break-in'.
