VECTIV^™ Enduris 3 FUTURELIGHT^™ Waterproof Hiking Shoe (Women)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I work in a Greenhouse, so my shoe criteria is waterproof and all day comfort. When I got these shoes in the mail I wanted to love them! The have potential. Initially trying them on, they seemed snug but nothing too concerning. I have average/slim feet with a high arch. I wore them for 2-3 hours around the house, a good portion of that time I sat at a desk. I took them off to leave for an errand and couldn't stop thinking about how much (the bridge of) my feet hurt from that short amount of time. I need shoes to be comfortable for 8-12 hours. I could see how they might be great for a 30 minute or even an hour run. But if you need shoes for long lasting comfort like I do, don't get these.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved the Vectiv Levitum model in a women size 8 for years. So I thought this would be the next waterproof logical next step. The material is a bit sturdier than the older Levitum so it is a pretty snug fit without much room to expand even though I had an appropriate amount of toe room. I sadly had to return these because it was too snug around my instep causing me tendonitis. I also wasn't a huge fan of the pale yellow color that will inevitably get very dirty very quickly as an outdoor trail shoe.
