I figured I would do a small review on this shoe.

My 9's are over a year old at this point and have gone through hell. I have hiked dolly sods in them through two days of mud. I wore them to work pretty much 5 days a week since I got them. I also hiked local trails, day trips, old rag, etc. They have been through numerous terrains in all conditions. (They smell at this point.)

For being less than $60, these shoes have held up pretty good in the last year as well.

After a year of full everyday use;
- Tread is still usable for everyday use but has gotten less grippy. They are slippery to wear if you are mopping a store, or hiking over slick rocks.
- Back Heel inside stuffing has bunched up, but it does not chafe the heel at all. It doesn't even both me. The stuffing bunched up after running them through the washer and dryer. (Dolly Sods)
- The sides of the shoe are starting to pull away from the shoe, but it is still very much secure to the sole.

Other than that. These were actually really good budget shoes. The faults didn't even phase the wear of the shoes. These shoes dry fairly fast since they are made of some sort of mesh material. They are flexible, and lightweight to wear. They come in medium and wide. (thank god) And, dark colors to hide the mud (mine are grey)

I have plantar's fascitis. For the first time in a long time, I hiked a good 13 mile distance and my feet did not hurt. I even speed walked a total of 12 miles, pushing myself because I wanted to see the sunset from the top of a overlook, and my feet felt great in the end. No pain. No pain the next day.

I just ordered the Trl 10's, and am excited to get to try them. For now, the old shoes are going to be spare work shoes for when my normal shoes are wet.
