Picked these up at REI. Wore them one time on the Pacific Crest Trail for about 20 miles of both on- and off-trail hiking (45 lb pack on trail). Despite what I thought was a great fit, these blistered my heels badly. Even through wool socks and mole skin pads.

They did hold up very well to the granite, rain and wet vegetation though.

I'll try them again after my "heels heal" and see if they are any better like the above sandal guy! Fingers are crossed.
