I bought these for my mom, who doesn't hike much, but had complained of her other casual shoes. Having worn a pair of The North Face shoes for hiking and everyday use for over a year, I knew she would equally love these. And sure enough, she wears them for all outdoor occasions now. They look great, are comfortable, and leave her feet with less moisture than anything she's ever worn.

These were too thin for my taste. I liked the light version of these socks better. The ultra thinness gave my feet more contact with my shoes than I wanted.

I am very satisfied with these socks. They do not slide, and they keep my feet cool when the weather is warm and the humidity high. In hot weather, when I take off my shoes, I immediately feel the the coolness of the socks taking effect. Regular white socks pale comparison. I also ran in these socks, and they performed pretty well. I'm a 8 1/2 and the medium fit me perfectly.

I was going to wait until rainy season hit again before giving this shoe the two thumbs up, but after getting many compliments on its looks, not feeling too hot in muggy weather(this is now my preference on hot days even though they are black) and unexpectedly running into a sand trail during the tail end of a hike without coming up with a single spec of sand inside my shoe, I must say that these are the best shoes I have ever owned. I run regularly in these shoes, and when I washed them off for the first time after several months, not a drop of water seeped in. I would buy these same shoes again when mine wear out. No shoelaces means that they are extremely easy to put on and off. I have yet to test them in wet conditions, but from what I have experienced so far, I highly recommend them. The price is not cheap, but this is a case where the higher price tag does translate to higher quality.

I wore the dark blue version of this in 80 degree temperature and had lunch in a crowded non-A/C restaurant without sweating(though I was eating something cold). The observant can tell immediately that this is a high quality athletic shirt when they come up close, yet it is not too attention-grabbing, which is a nice change of pace from my other high performance shirts. I'm 5'10", and sleeves on the medium for this run a little longer than other brands--they go down almost to my elbows. The other facets fit nicely, though.

I wore this running in 90 degree heat, and it kept the sweat off my back without becoming too heavy. It also didn't get very smelly either. It also looks appealing. I am quite satisfied with this product.

This shirt kept me relatively cool in near 90 degree valley heat, and it looks great, too. I'm 5'10", and the medium fit me perfectly.

Haven't had a chance to test these in wet conditions yet, but they are lighter and more comfortable than any other shoe I've had, which isn't much, but that includes a pair of The North Face hikers. I've also gotten multiple compliments on the looks as well. The shiny reflectors seem to catch a lot of attention! I would buy these again without hesitation.

From the limited use I have experienced with this shoe, it has been very dependable on moderate hikes. I felt very comfortable and confident in their grip. They are not machine washable, but they do a better job of keeping heat out in the summer than my basketball shoes. The deal I got from this site was also sweet. They are more than worth the price.
