Most people aren't properly aligned and when you watch them from the back, they look super fat because their knees tend to buckle in.
I weigh 135 pounds and when I saw photos of myself from the back I almost fainted. I looked 100lbs heavier just due to how my legs were aligned. My knees looked like they were about to collapse/explode (take your pick).
These puppies give you a tiny bit of arch support that helps balance your weight on the outside of your foot, rather than the inside.
They are good for shoes that you can't remove the insole like non athletic tennis sneakers or other shoe that has some sort of heel so it wont slip out.

First off, I wear a size 14 in most shoes, including Five Ten Freerider mountain biking shoes. These are only made up to a 13. I heard that they come a little large though and decided to try them out. I'm not sure if this is true across all sizes, but the 13 is more like a 13.75. They ended up fitting me very well. So, be careful on the size.
The main reason I bought these though is that I LOVE the Stealth rubber soles on my MTB shoes and wanted to try out a pair of hiking/approach shoes from Five Ten. Even though the tread pattern doesn't look terribly aggressive, these are the best gripping trail shoes I've owned. They are comfortable all around with a reasonably wide toe box and good cushioning at the top of the tongue and under the ankle. The soles are stiff and took a little while to break in. I still wouldn't say they've "softened" all that much though. The bottom of the shoe is pretty stiff and the inner sole is not very cushy. They are comfortable for wearing all day though. I recently traveled with them for 10 days as my only pair of shoes both walking around town and hiking. So, they're fine. If you like a soft sole or lots of padding though, these are definitely not for you.
The only complaint I have is that these shoes do not breathe well at all. They're mostly a soft leather with a little bit of mesh. The mesh is thick though. My feet get hot in lots of shoes, but these are very hot. The flip side is that they do a decent job of keeping moisture out. During rainy hikes, my feet have stayed pretty dry. For me, the durability is nice. I've beaten up a lot of shoes hiking and I can tell these are going to hold up well. They're very well made and solid.
Overall, I really like these shoes. You just have to be good with the tradeoffs. They choose durability, grip and stiffness over being lightweight and breathable. And I feel like I should repeat that they are not cushy. They have stiff soles, but flex enough to walk around in all day no matter what the terrain. Give them a try if that's what you're after.

These soles have memory foam inside and my husband loves them. He has plantar fasciitis and these shoes are really comfortable. Would rather order online when I know exactly what I want, as opposed to looking in stores.

I live in boat shoes, both ashore (mostly) an on my boat. This is my second pair of Sea Kites. I also have a pair in another color. The Sea Kites hold up well with my day to day use and a bit of abuse. I've been through Timberland, Bass, and Clarks over the years. They have gone through up and down cycles of quality. Right now Sperry is on top and I find the others disappointing in terms of fit and quality.

Bought these for my husband and they are still comfortable and going strong after many months of wear.
Reviewer Old Camel
Fit good all reviews I read helped me buy them, they're comfortable and a little high by me being tall already makes me feel like a giant, but I love them anyway.
