Customer Reviews

Tough, light, and easy on your feet
I love these! (I started with a pair of
the 747s, went to 749s when those wore out).

In terms of weight, these almost feel as light
as tennis shoes, but they absorb a lot of
shock, and the sole is excellent for rough
trails, or even fording streams. Once I had
to take a pair--almost right out of the box--
on a 37 mile hike (+ a 50 lb. pack):
No soreness of any kind!
I have wide feet, so the 4E width is a godsend:
I don't need to order my shoes longer to make
up for needed width. In short, it's an affordable
shoe that delivers almost boot performance with
casual shoe comfort.
I'd like to balance all this good with a drawback...
but I honestly have had nothing but great experiences...

p.s. "Country Walker" is a sweet name, but all 3
of my pairs have been used for pretty serious hiking...
it's a very sturdy shoe.

p.p.s. The star rating on this shoe should be higher...
numerous reviews have low scores, when it seems
pretty obvious that the consumers simply don't have
the right size shoe. "4E" sounds SUPER wide, but it
doesn't look freakishly wide to me. It just feels GREAT!
I wish all shoes had these width options!

Great Fitting Right Out of The Box
I walked 3 miles the very first time I wore these shoes with no problems. I have very wide foot and they are very comfortable. A great porduct.

Best walking shoe I've owned
These shoes are very well made, with no loose strings or other signs of poor workmanship. They are also very comfortable, even when worn all day. Support is excellent all around and their is little wear inside or out after months of continuous use.
