Nike ACG Mountain Fly Low SE

• Yes. Get them

  Got these in the mail yesterday and absolutely obsessed! FITS TRUE TO SIZE. There are a lot of variables that go in to the perfect hiking shoe compatibility, so for reference: - I have high arches - prefer wider toe space - Shoe Size: W's 6.5 (ordered Size 5) (Sometimes shoes are designated as gender neutral but still lean more geared for men). Not the case here. The "size down 1 1/2" for the woman sizing is on point! Snug but not tight. I got these in the brown / orange colorway, and the colors are more rich / vibrant IRL, which I love. Finding a pair that meets the form, function, and fashion trifecta is important to me, and these fit the bill. First impressions: These shoes are going to hug you, in a good way. They're snug, but once you stretch them on to your feet (as is intended in design) they feel incredible. I don't know that it's obvious in images, but there's actually an insert that hugs your feet, creating a really nice compression. As someone with high arches I can't tell you how much this makes a difference for general walkability / hiking. They have a really nice cushion as well that make you feel like you're walking on clouds. While they do fit snug, they're wide at the toes which gives your feet the security you need on hikes while still providing breathability. The goretex x grip features are the cherry on top - I have a pair of heavier duty hiking boots, but it's great to have a light pair on hand for shorter hikes that can handle a shallow stream and grip slippery trails. I purchased for light day hikes but will definitely be slipping them on for long walk days in the city. Really happy with these :)

  I had high hopes for these shoes. Yes, they looked cool, but I was more interested in how they would perform in the wild. They arrived on 7/1 and I took them out for a five mile hike on 7/2. The first half of the hike was okay. The shoes are very comfortable after the initial break in period...Lots of cushion and spring in the ride. Once the hike started to get steep with uneven ground, that's when the shoes really began to show their warts. There is little to no lateral stability. With the Fly Knit uppers and the large amount of wide cushioning, my feet were sliding out over the edge of the soles. Definitely not something you want in a hiking or trail running shoe. Keep in mind, this was on dry dirt. These may be fine for looking like rugged outdoor shoes, but Nike really missed the mark on these. They're fine for perfectly flat trails, but any trail with incline/decline/undulations, be warned...your feet will be all over the place. If I could return these after wearing, I would. These shoes will not be worn for their intended use. I'm giving them two stars just for the cool factor. Otherwise, I would give one star.
