VECTIV Hypnum Water Resistant Trail Running Sneaker (Women)

I've had to transition from a side-walk runner to an urban trail hiker due to injuries, and these shoes are everything I need. Enough cushion and support to walk comfortably for hours. Took very little time to break in, and they are holding up nicely after a couple of months of heavy wear. My feet are a little on the wide side, so the fit is snug but comfortable.

Wanted to love these as I love the brand and I’ve been looking for a pair of trail running shoes for a while. However, the ankle area fits sooo weird, it isn’t adjustable and gaps way too much so I wind up sliding around a lot. I’ve tried different sizes of socks but thicker socks makes the toe box too tight. The cushioning is decent but I can’t go more than 4 miles without feeling super uncomfortable because these fit so poorly. Very disappointing!

These are incredibly lightweight and breathable and have great arch support. I wear them twice daily for dog walks on a gravel trail. I had major knee surgery last year from an accident, and these have helped immensely with my recovery. The rocker sole really trains your posture, too - no lower back pain! Hope they hold up! I just scrubbed mine clean with a soft toothbrush and dish soap - my fault for getting white, but I don't care for black sneakers or crazy color combos. One caution is the heal cup has an extended back that bothered me a bit at first, but was never painful, and I didn't notice it after the first week. These are sweet street shoes as well - they look really cute with a dress or shorts.
