Dunham Men's Exeter Low Hiking Shoes - Lightweight Waterproof Trail Shoes for Outdoor Adventures, Hiking, and Camping

Plenty of toe room, very good support laterally. I believe it is one of the best shoes for those of us concerned about plantar fasciitis. Dreadful expensive though. Close second I think is the Brooks Addiction walker for some 60 dollars less (list price). I alternate between the two and like each for slightly different reasons.. My sense is that the Dunham is a stronger - better structured - shoe and will last longer. I'll update if this proves to be the case one way or the other.Problem: I liked the shoe, per the above description. But after only 7 or 8 wearings, the little strap that holds one of the metal eyelets through which the shoe laces feed broke. It did not look like a repair was possible. Outside the return date, discouraging. On the good side, the seller sent a replacement pair based on my review of the problem without being asked, and I have not seen any other reviewer note a similar problem, nor have I had problems with two other Exeters I purchased later. I'll put it down to a manufacturing anomaly that was dealt with quickly. and professionally - excellent customer service. After more than a year of wear on Exeters in all weather - no further issues. These are the best walking shoes I've ever worn. Highly recommended. I wear a 9.5D or 10D depending on shoe design, and for the Exeter if is the 10D for me.
