The Jannu Lo Hiking Shoe for Men by Lowa is handcrafted in Italy. It earned the Outside Magazine GEAR OF THE YEAR award!
"Cross a Suburban with a BMW and you'd get the automotive version of LOWA's Jannu: a smooth, fast ride anywhere. By combining a tough upper with a solid platform and then lining the inside with baby-butt-soft leather, the Jannu delivers an exquisitely plush but armored feel. The shoe would have earned GEAR OF THE YEAR HONORS for that alone, but add the royal blue exterior - LOWA's antidote to hiking footwear monotony - and you have a shoe that stands out just as well on the sidewalk as on the trail." - Outside Magazine

Best shoe you can buy, period.
These are the best shoes I've ever worn. I own 2 pairs of the women's version for over a year and got these for my husband in brown prior to a week long hiking vacation in the southwest. They held up great on a trip that included 10 hour hikes most days with sandstone rock scrambles and steep ups and downs. He loves them. The sole of this shoe is like a boot, not like what you'd find on other low tops, which are essentially rugged looking sneakers. It's not flexible and can't be bent in half like a pair of merrells can. The leather lining is so soft and smooth on your heel. Because it's more of a boot than a sneaker, expect that 1/4" of movement in the heel. Women's runs almost a whole size smaller than my usual size, but my husband wears a 13 and found size 13 to fit perfect. I can't tell you enough how wonderful these shoes are-plus they look great we wear them on the trail and on weekends around town. 5 stars, best shoes ever.
