Late to the game.
I have more athletic, trail and hiking shoes than I can count.
Recently I discovered Palladium.

It is a French company that in 1947 started making "boots" for the French Foriegn Legion, Italian army and the IDF. What you see above is essentially the same boot with upgraded materials.
These are simple canvas and rubber shoes like Converse Chucks on steroids with a heel. I like a little heel in a walking/hiking shoe. Very light and airy with a springy sole. I did a four mile hike in them last week with zero problems. These are going to make great summer "sneakers."
