Picked up these for exploring while traveling around the world. A couple months ago I broke my leg walking home in a Minneapolis winter while wearing new Stan Smiths. While I love the look, they have no grip to begin with and especially on an icy sidewalk. With international travel ahead, I need something that grip off the road and on. Picked up these Terrex Tracefinder 2 for my upcoming trip to the Faroe Islands, where it'll be wet in town and on the trails. They have great grip, that makes things secure off-road and throughout hours of walking around town. I've worn them biking around town and for longer walks around the city so rarely, and they've been comfy, while remaining surefooted and supportive. Thus far I haven't had to test their water-proof abilities but they do breathe nicely, not getting hot or uncomfortable while walking around. The look great without standing out too much as a goofy tourist in a foreign land. Looking forward to wearing them on my upcoming trip, happy that they provide the footing I need on a great trip to a foreign land. While the sizing is right, I will say they're snug around my foot with athletic socks on. If you're looking to wear something thicker, I'd recommend sizing up a little to leave room to breathe.

A great shoe to use for everyday, a perfect shoe to beat down
