these fit well on my narrow heel and give a just right footbox but without letting my foot slide around. I wear Merrell's to work because of their (on concrete) comfort, and these blow them away. I was very impressed with the way the off-center laces hug the foot.
check out the monster toe rand with "nasty" lugs. These worked well crossing wet creeks in the Supes.

I have a pair of these as well, and I agree...they are very comfortable. But they are for narrow, low-volume feet. Mine seem snug and they are very plush under foot but they rubbed my right heel and I got a blister. I wore them for the first time on my recent GC trip. To the shoe's credit, my feet were not sore at all, and usually my feet get sore after 5 miles or so in every other pair of hiking shoes I have.
I'm considering selling mine (size 10 worn once) so that I can get another pair a half size smaller.
