Fit Great! Size UP and WIDE is PERFECT!
My Sizes: Sz10 B/M (41), 5’7”, 185lbs. Quality-Comfortable Shoe. As suggested, I SIZED UP to 10.5 WIDE. THESE ARE PERFECT! I needed trail walking shoes that would not hurt my extra plate and seven screws from a now healed broken fibula ankle surgery three months ago. The toe box is short but the extra half size fixed that. The wide width helped my toes have spreading wiggle room in the toe box too. The heel cup is still good when laced normal snug. Not falling out at all. I re-laced these OVER CRISS CROSS (see pics) like I typically do. By pulling on both sides of the laces - over and under at same time - the laces pulled out just fine. Did the reverse when re-lacing. Walking in them is very comfy. Could wear an even thicker sock come winter. Added a memory foam insole for a little extra arch support. I like the protected toe reinforcement to help with wet and stones. A solid shoe and very happy! Going on 5-plus miles a day and trekking with these shoes just great!

Not bad for the price.
These shoes aren’t bad for the price. I’ve worn them on different hikes and walks. I think the farthest distance I’ve gone in these shoes was 5 miles and I got no blisters. I did have to buy some insoles for these shoes though. I have pretty sensitive feet and I can feel the rocks when the terrain has lots of loose and bigger gravel, so I needed some extra padding. I’ve worn these on hikes with some scrambles and the traction was pretty good when I climbed up and down rocks and boulders.

They're OK
These are just big enough, a little snug but they fit. I have had several pairs of Propet shoes so I thought these would be a little bigger. I'm not happy with the way they laced the shoes. It's that backwards way that's hard for me to tighten. I tried to re-lace them but the eyelets are really small and it's difficult to pull out the laces. I managed to get them through the first pair of holes but that was it. As I kept yanking on the laces I was expecting the eyelets to pop out so I guess I'm going have to get used to the way the manufacturer laced them.I bought these for the tread and the supposed waterproofness. I have not had occasion to go out in the rain yet wearing these so I hope they really are waterproof. I ride my bike to work in the rain and my current shoes/boots slip off the wet pedals so the deeper tread should solve that - as long they are waterproof.

don’t bother
Oh I wanted to love these shoes since they claim to be impermeable and I plan on hiking the beaches in Washington state. But back they go. These shoes are so poorlysized. I am normally a 6 or 6.5 regular width with plenty of room to spare. Despite other reviewers saying they ran narrow I still tried a 6.5 regular- I couldn’t even get the shoe over my toes. So then I ordered a 6.5 x wide (2e width). They fit but are so uncomfortable. The top presses down on my toes and the sole is soooooo hard even after a few minutes. Wish i hadn’t bothered.

There's a trick to the shoelaces...
I nabbed these from Amazon Warehouse for a fraction of the usual price, so I was super-excited to receive them. I was immediately disappointed, though, as they seemed to be way too tight for a wide-width shoe, and then I couldn't even loosen the laces?!?!Whatever moron decided to lace these shoes backwards deserves to be fired. The first thing I did was set about removing the laces, so I could lace these shoes up the right way. I hoped that in doing so, I'd be able to loosen them where they were too tight and make these shoes more comfortable. But I soon found that pulling them out through the eyelets was almost impossible! I finally found that the reason they don't seem to come out of the eyelets is because they bunch up around the taped end. By pulling on both sides, I was able to stretch out the braided lace, and then they slid out of the eyelets much more easily. They were a little difficult to push back through, but I finally got going with that part, and my theory was proven correct. With these shoes laced correctly and not so tightly, these shoes were pretty damned comfy! Only problem was I didn't have much lace left to properly tie.My final solution was to throw away the laces that came with the shoes and replace them with some $2 athletic laces (in a longer length) from Walmart. The new laces fit through the eyelets without any problems and let me lace the shoes up in a way that was comfortable for my foot -- with enough left to tie correctly. I wore these shoes all day today, and they're awesome. They've got great support, great tread, and remained comfortable through everything I did today.

Waterproof shoes?
I have only used and tried walking with this shoes at home to see if it's comfortable so I can still return. So far it is quite stiff shoes and seems not comfortable on my feet. I got a great price on it as I bought it not new, but the shoes look like a brand new to me. I'm not sure if walking with it outside of my home for longer would be comfortable. It seems to me not as the shoes are quite hard on my feet. I will try walking with it one more time at home a little longer and hope my feet will not get sore. However, I am inclined to return this shoes due to the shoes not flexible.

good for walking in wet grass/woods
The shoes felt tight to squeeze my feet into, but when they were in it felt like a good fit. I may need a slightly bigger size. I like that the shoes do not get soaking wet. I walk my dog in wet and soggy woods and parks and the shoes stay dry. I can just wipe them with a wet wipe to clean so far. I would buy again but maybe in a bigger size.
