I like how this shoes look... but I was expecting a more barefoot fit and better ground feel - I felt disconnected from the terrain, kind of floating due to the shape and grip texture of the soles. The grip is ok on dry terrain, and the sole pattern design doesn't allow mud or rocks to get stuck, but on wet or smooth surfaces it's a completely different story! This soles are extremely slippery on (even slightly) wet rocks or pavement. I'm glad I didn't have to climb anything or encounter wet bathroom floors on the trip I bought them for!! Also, they're pretty warm / too warm for me - my merino socks were soaking wet from sweat no matter the activity level, which never happened to me before... They're a bit stinky now, after only 10 days of use :\
