Patagonia Finn Hiking Shoes - Vibram® Outsole (For Women)

These shoes are really comfortable. I bought a second pair to use when the first pair wears out. They don't need to be broken in they are comfortable as soon as you put them on.

I use the Patagonia hiking shoes for the steep slopes, slippery rocks and sandy climb of Camelback Mountain in the middle of Phoenix, Arizona. When it's hot they keep my feet from sweating. And when there's no outcropping to step on and I have to resort to the slippery rocks that have been worn to a sheen by thousands of hikers, they stick like no other shoe. They're light and there are no pressure points. I was able to wear them straight out of the box and onto the trail with no issues. I almost forgot I had a new pair of hikers on; except they were sticking to the rocks and I was so appreciative for that in the moment.

I wasn't even looking for these when I saw them on sale and the bright colors caught my eye! They are extremely attractive, comfortable and great in the New England snow and ice. I researched the comments on here and was happy that someone said to size one half size up and the only size they had was 8 1/2...and since I am an 8 in most shoes I ordered them right away and was glad I did as they were sold out in an hour. Buy them you won't regret it. I wear them all the time!

These are good looking and comfortable enough for a big day of errands and sturdy enough for day long off-trail scrambles. This shoe has the looks, support and durability I require- love the discounted price.
