This shoe is very comfortable, stylish and looks well with both skirts and pants.

I have these in leather and just re-ordered in the satin fabric. Best travel shoes ever because the lacing allows you to tighten/loosen as needed. I like to wear these with my Hue "foot tube" socklet for extra comfort and color. I brought these as my only pair of shoes on a 10-day trip through Tuscany and they were perfectly comfortable and stylish.

I am afraid they are going down hill. I have worn Montrails almost exclusively for more than a decade. These fit worse than any others I have owned. They make my foot slip to the outside by the toes.

These shoes fell apart very quickly (2 months of moderate use). Seams coming apart, soles falling apart, and treads wearing down. While I've had similar Montrail shoes in the past, these cannot be recommended.
