Garmont Kiowa Vegan Hiking Shoes (For Men)

Not so true to size, did not get a chance to really wear.

These were advertised as 1/2 size too small but they are a full size too small. [...] Vegan concept is a great idea and nice looking boot, but....

I previously reviewed these shoes and wrote that they squeaked. Well, I must retract that statement because they didn't squeak once I started wearing them more often. Initially they did but it only last 1-2 days. I have been very happy with these shoes. I did order a half size larger but probably could've ordered a full size larger as they are not true to size.

NOT THAT IT MATTERS BUT THEY ARE NOT THE SAME AS PICTURED - ACTUALLY I LIKE THE ONES I RECEIVED BETTER THAN THE ONES PICTURED! THEY ARE GREY AND TAN, NOT OLIVE. I BOUGHT A HALF SIZE LARGER LIKE STP SUGGESTED AND THEY FIT PERFECT. THE TOE BOX HAS TONS OF ROOM WHICH I REALLY APPRECIATE. THEY HAVE A GOOD ARCH, BETTER THAN MOST. I CAN'T COMMENT ON WEAR YET AS I JUST RECEIVED THEM AND HAVE ONLY HAD THEM ON A FEW MINUTES INSIDE THE HOUSE, BUT MY FIRST IMPRESSION IS GREAT! I CAN'T WAIT TO HIT THE TRAIL! I'VE HAD FOOT SURGERIES AND AM VERY SENSITIVE AND SO FAR I FEEL NOTHING BUT SUPPORT AND COMFORT. MY FAV LEATHER BOOTS ARE JUST TOO HOT FOR UTAH SUMMER HIKING - THESE SEEM BREATHABLE, TIME WILL TELL.

THE DESCRIPTION SAID THEY RAN SMALL AND TO ORDER A HALF SIZE UP WHICH I DID. THEY ARE A LITTLE LARGE BUT THAT'S FINE WITH ME SINCE NOW I CAN WEAR THICK OR THIN SOCKS WHICH MAKES THEM EXTRA USEFULL. THE LARGE TOE BOX IS THE BEST - I CAN ACTUALLY WIGGLE MY TOES AROUND, AND THE ARCH OFFERS VERY GOOD SUPPORT. THE ANKLES FEEL SECURE AND PROTECTED FROM TWISTING. CAN'T COMMENT ABOUT WEAR, ETC YET SINCE I HAVEN'T WORN THEM THAT MUCH, AND I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE WATERPROOF. SINCE I GOT THE LAST PAIR I CAN'T LOOK THEM UP TO SEE. GUESS I'LL FIND OUT THROUGH EXPERIENCE!
