I love these shoes. They were comfortable from day 1 and have a performance fit and feel to them. I feel like I can do nearly anything in them: hike, scramble, wear them to work like I did today, and I would even consider trail running in them. The Finn feels sturdy yet light. This shoe cradles the foot and provides adequate cushioning without any bulk. I put them on the night we arrived in Moab and wore them all week - on hikes, around camp, and on runs. No blisters or hot spots. I highly recommend this shoe and at $100, the price is also very reasonable for what this shoe offers and delivers.

The shoe seems to fit somewhat on the narrow side and may not work that well for a wider foot.
I wasn't sure about the model at first, but HAD to pick them to test, because this is a very green shoe:
- Vibram® Ecostep™ outsole (30% recycled rubber)
- EVA foam midsole with 15% recycled content
- Synthetic-cork footbed (70% recycled) with active carbon that has antimicrobial qualities to combat odor
- Bi-Fit™ dual-density insole board made from 100% recycled polyethylene/polyurethane
Now that I have them I love them, and they look great too! This shoe is available in 5 colors.
