First off, I wear a size 14 in most shoes, including Five Ten Freerider mountain biking shoes. These are only made up to a 13. I heard that they come a little large though and decided to try them out. I'm not sure if this is true across all sizes, but the 13 is more like a 13.75. They ended up fitting me very well. So, be careful on the size.
The main reason I bought these though is that I LOVE the Stealth rubber soles on my MTB shoes and wanted to try out a pair of hiking/approach shoes from Five Ten. Even though the tread pattern doesn't look terribly aggressive, these are the best gripping trail shoes I've owned. They are comfortable all around with a reasonably wide toe box and good cushioning at the top of the tongue and under the ankle. The soles are stiff and took a little while to break in. I still wouldn't say they've "softened" all that much though. The bottom of the shoe is pretty stiff and the inner sole is not very cushy. They are comfortable for wearing all day though. I recently traveled with them for 10 days as my only pair of shoes both walking around town and hiking. So, they're fine. If you like a soft sole or lots of padding though, these are definitely not for you.
The only complaint I have is that these shoes do not breathe well at all. They're mostly a soft leather with a little bit of mesh. The mesh is thick though. My feet get hot in lots of shoes, but these are very hot. The flip side is that they do a decent job of keeping moisture out. During rainy hikes, my feet have stayed pretty dry. For me, the durability is nice. I've beaten up a lot of shoes hiking and I can tell these are going to hold up well. They're very well made and solid.
Overall, I really like these shoes. You just have to be good with the tradeoffs. They choose durability, grip and stiffness over being lightweight and breathable. And I feel like I should repeat that they are not cushy. They have stiff soles, but flex enough to walk around in all day no matter what the terrain. Give them a try if that's what you're after.

better price here than at the mall. the gold logo they use on the tongue now is not durable at all. i can see it starting to wear off.

I got these for someone as a gift. They are comfortable if you like the "no shoe" type of feel. No arch support and not much cushioning, but that's the whole point,. Very unique, and easily fit/molded to your feet.

I haven't owned shoes in years. Even in the coldest (okay chilliest) winter days here in FL I wore sandals. I needed a pair of shoes for an event and after seeing numerous TV commercials for Skechers wide fit shoes I took a shot and ordered these in a 12 4E. They're amazingly comfortable with a ton of room for my toes. They don't pinch or bind. I have a flat foot and was glad to find there isn't a high arch in these shoes and the memory foam insole (not removable sadly) really cushions your stride. The soles have nice traction and the uppers are sturdy but breathe nicely, on an 83° day when the rest of me was sweating my feet were surprisingly cool and comfortable. These really aren't a sneaker they're more like a lightweight walking/trail shoe. They're also attractive. Hopefully they're as durable as they are comfortable.

GREAT SHOES, BETTER THAN ECCO AND A LOT CHEAPER

I have never had a pair of Steel Toes I didn't hate. I still used them and wore out those I had before I finally bought a Suzuki Boulevard C50T Cruiser motorcycle a couple weeks ago. I wanted a tough sole shoe with a steel toe, especially while I get used to stopping and restarting the bike, but I wanted the shoe to have some feel for the gears and brakes. These Skechers Cankton WORK steel toes were as comfortable as my nicest and most expensive Adidas, New Balance or Reebok tennis shoes, or as any of my street shoes. (I did take out the Skechers insole (only because as a WORK shoe it put more padding under my heel than I needed for riding.) I put in my own favorite brand of insoles for tennis - more arch support, and a little less heel and toe support - and the shoes felt even better. I had a lot more sensitivity to the left foot platform gear shifter, and to the right foot brake on my Cruiser. I would not wear these for tennis, but with these I no longer have to pick my oldest or dirtiest tennis shoes, just to go for a walk in the woods, or in the park after it's rained. I go for rides, I since I don't notice the steel toe at all, I even wear them just to run errands. I normally wear a 10.5 M, but I bought these in a 10 W and they fit great.
