"I purchased these shoes over a year ago and commuted daily in Seattle in excess of 8 miles in rain, snow, and sun on both bike and foot. Additionally I wore them mt. biking and hiking on many weekends during the year. They are starting to show some wear now, but have been the absolute best outdoor shoe that I've ever owned."

"First the downside. My ankles had a tendency to roll outwards with the Tasman XCR. Thankfully, I have strong ankles and use trekking poles when I hike. I certainly wouldn't trail run in these. The shoe runs wide, and I replaced the flimsy factory footbeds (I haven't bought a pair of shoes with decent footbeds yet) with Super Feet green insoles."

"Overall a decent, but not great, all-purpose shoe. I have used this shoe for light hikes and short jogs and they have held up well. The Gore-Tex XCR functions well as it breathes better then older Gore-Tex lined shoes. Shoe is relatively well put together."
