Fantastic All-Purpose shoe!
Bought these as an impulse birthday gift for myself. I’m an avid hiker over all kinds of terrain, but wanted an easy-on, supportive shoe for dog walks and urban errands. I literally haven’t worn another shoe since I got these. Super comfortable with barely any break-in period. I wear a 9.5 in the Range line, but I got these in a 9 and they are perfect. I also wore them on a trail today and I walked over 7 miles without any discomfort or sweating! Can’t recommend these enough.

Super comfy
These are nice lightweight shoes. The soles are firm yet cushy. Perfect for trails or casual. Quality is definitely there too. Good work Forsake with these. I’m a fan!

Feel like a walking champion
This is the second pair of Forsaken I've purchased. I had also ordered a pair of the Drigg's for the Winter months here in the Midwest. But, let's get to the our main dish the Meridian.
Overall, the slip-on style and comfort is right where I thought it would be... superb. These are well built and crafted. The everyman's (and woman) shoe for all seasons.
I then gave them the Forest Gump test which is walking 25k steps in the city with a no fear mentality. Achieved with great success? Yes. They are stable but note they do carry a little more weight than a straight up performance shoe, for instance. A catch 22 where my feet and overall lower body recovery was rock solid. My low back thanked me later. However, you could tell they were built more for trails and power walks and less for distance running. Let's not let that tarnish the overall reason I purchased them which was simplicity of design and feeling like a champion. Which they succeeded.
Lastly, only a month in, but so far no early blisters or ankle rubs — a bunion free long term situation. As others may have noted, too, I'd recommend going a 1/2 size smaller.

More and better than I expected!
I got these shoes to be a slip-on addition to my shoe collection, and I expected to use them only to go to the store and to do other short errands. Today, I have used them for everything from short hikes to full days of errands with the family.

Narrow toe box
The shoes look great, however they are very narrow in the toe box and pinch my pinky toes. I'm sued to wearing Altra's with a squared off toe box, so maybe my feet will adjust?

Fresh Looks & High Comfort
I've only had these for about a month now but so far, so good! Very comfortable, breathe well, and look great. This is my 3rd pair of Forsake's and my support of this brand will absolutely continue.

Loved the Shoes but Too Narrow
Great looking shoes - good value. Unfortunately they were a bit too narrow for me. Great customer service throughout the return process. Will definitely purchase if you make a wider size option.

Perfect travel shoe and everyday townie.
Bought these before traveling. They are super comfortable and supportive for my flat feet. They slip in and off without sacrificing fit. Bonus, my lady thinks they look great.
