GREAT SHOE FOR DAYHIKES OR ULTRALIGHT USE.

Great fit, though on the narrow side. Lacing can be adjusted effectively. Light and cool. Excellent outsole that sticks like glue.
The insole is cheap. Definitely replace with aftermarkets (ie Superfeet or Sole). Toebox might be too narrow for some.
Great shoe. I'm gonna buy the midcut Nitro.

A GOOD SHOE, BUT HAVE A LOOK AT ALTERNATIVES TOO

A comfy, light shoe for easy walking routes. The rubber toecaps are good for keeping your toes dry when walking through wet grass - they seem to cover just the area of toe that dew gets rubbed off onto. They also have normal, chunky laces for which it will be easy to find replacements if they break (Meindl take note!).
Don't hold my feet as securely as I'd like - my heel rolls around in them when walking across a slope or on very uneven ground. The insoles provided are rubbish too and were replaced after only one walk with a pair of superfeet because they kept trying to work their way up my heel escape out of the back of the shoe.
Not sure if I'd buy them again but if I did then I'd try to get 1/2 a size smaller to see if they hold my heel any better.
