I just received mine in the mail yesterday, delivered to California in 8 days. Fits snug and true to size. I love the toggle lace, it's a lot faster than regular laces. They are indeed breathable - my feet were barely wet a steep uphill climb - in my regular hiking shoes they would be dripping sweat. They have a low ankle, so I don't think you'd want to wear them if you're doing a lot of off-trail. If you're primarily on the trail - you should be good! They're also lightweight and have a thick outsole, which absorbs impact from stones and gravel on the trail. I wouldn't wear them in winter, because they're not warm, but overall these are solid hiking shoes if you don't like sweaty feet and hike on rocky trails, primarily in warm or cool-ish weather.
