These are trekking shoes, but I ended up using them mainly for walking around town instead of mountain climbing. I've worn them 5 or 6 times, and I think the soles are still in good condition. The size is on the larger side, and they're designed to be worn with thick socks, so some people might find there's extra space at the toes or heel. The area from the heel to the ankle is quite stiff, so if they don't fit snugly, they can easily cause blisters. Main color: Black
