OMG these 10.5 2E's were a perfect fit for my wide foot right out of the box. Didn't want to take them off! These are not chukka's; they're over-the-ankle hikers with a flexible but aggresive sole. I guess the best use will be casual outdoor. Don't know how well they'd hold up to serious hiking, no claimed waterproofness, the tongue's not fully gussted. But they look great and feel like hi-top sneakers. A more much more stylish alternative to bumming around town in clunkerer hiking boots or basketball shoes. Light, soft, flexible, supportive. Highly recommended!
