Never buy it! I wasted 25 bucks for this stupid thing. Didnt even fit me. Dont get fooled by the picture in the web. Here's my story.

Payed $26...a $8 for shipping alone.

I was eagerly waiting for this. Even the most local brands will send the shoes in a box. well, I got it in a dirty white cover! with black marks all over it. And it comes with a 5 pound load of ads(now I know why the shipping cost was high...)

The lace and the spongy stuff in it is all in GREEN color. know what i mean....anyone can spot your shoe even a mile away....its so glaring GREEN!

The lace allignment is all distorted. Doesn't even look decent. I am right now looking at returning this thing.

My advice....DONT BUY IT!

Cant figure the first post out. I have really enjoyed my Saratoga Hikers.

Have had 2 pairs now. They are really hard to beat for the great price.

I've hiked all over the North Geoargia mountains and they really work well.

Very comfy.

This shoes are so comfortable. It feels like I'm walking on air. I love them.

I ordered these in brown on brown - the most hideous shade of green arrived. When I called the vendor, Fogdog said they no longer have the brown on brown - yet they are still listing them for sale on Amazon. DO NOT BE FOOLED - YOU WILL GET SOME UGLIFIED MIAMI VICE GREEN BOOTS!!! YUCK! 5 days before Christmas and I have to go shopping again!

Itasca is a junk brand. My son had a very similar model and from normal walking in less than a year the sole cracked allowing water to go through the heal. I can only imagine how hiking would destroy these in short order.

They're advertised as hiking boots, but although they look nice and look like hiking boots, the soles aren't strong enough. I bought mine 2 months ago and have just noticed the soles have been torn open right down their middles. That red curvy line you see on the bottom? It's thin there. That's where the tears occurred. The soles are not only weak down the middles, but the soles are hollow. I'm lucky I didn't encounter an upright nail. I've been under-using these shoes and they shouldn't have been ruined this easily. They look good, but don't dare use them.

The color WAS a bit different than anticipated, but I still liked them a lot. I wore them as work boots, and after about 3 months the soles were completely torn. Other than that, they're comfortable, they still look pretty spiffy, and they're inexpensive.

The shoes themselves? Not bad. The very fact that I too were sent the green (ugly green) ones when I paid for the brown ones? Bad. And it seems to be a problematic thing. Find these where you know you'll get what you pay for.

First of all, the shoes received were not as pictured --- they were not low-top hikers, they were higher topped like boots. Then, they were too narrow. Did not come in anything but medium width.
