I bought these largely because I was so pleased with the Crossover Longwing. I ordered the same size in the Crossover Hikers, but it was way too tight overall (especially width). I exchanged them for a half size larger, but these felt a bit too roomy for my liking. I wound up keeping them because the design and feel of the shoe is so nice.

Months after buying and returning other sneaker/boots I finally came across these then immediately pulled the trigger on a pair. The Hiker checks all the boxes for me. Winters in LA never require any serious snow or rain footwear so I've been wearing these about 3-4 times a week with decent mileage and they just get more comfortable as they progress. The styling is certainly not cookie-cutter, I get many compliments and questions about where I got them. The construction quality doesn't disappoint, it is such a versatile shoe whether its paired with sweats on a lazy day or jeans on a workday. Hopefully they release other colors and materials for this.

The crossovers are snug simply because they're leather. However, a few wears and they fit with ease and comfort. I need to order half a size smaller. Usually wear 12 sneakers yet in crossover wear 11.5

In general I'm a loyal member of the "Wolf Pack," having purchased and enjoyed everything from the traditional loafer to two different pairs of the SwiftKnit Derby. This boot is no exception, providing important all-weather resilience for a New Yorker like myself while retaining both the comfort to put some miles in and the style to go with everything. The one issue with the boot is that - unlike virtually every other boot I own - there's no 'loop' on the heel side of the boot for grip, making it tedious to put on (though taking it off is simple). The loop is instead on the tongue of the shoe, which is helpful but not as much as would be ideal. Still, that's not a fatal flaw by any means; this shoe is more than worth the price, and I consider it an essential item on the rack of any city-dweller.
