By still seeking the perfect hiking boot from Brooklyn, NY on 09/16/2009 Pros: Ankle Support, Arch Support, Comfortable/No Break-In, Great Traction Cons: Too big then too small Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer, Casual/Recreational, Environmentalist Sizing: Feels full size too big Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: The first pair I ordered was way too big and then the second pair I ordered was 1 1/2 size smaller and was too small. These boots seem great, but my size is not in stock.
By Mr Jones' Hiking Pal from far northern California on 07/05/2009 Pros: And great foxtail defense, Ankle Support, Comfortable/No Break-In, Water Resistant Best Uses: Day Hiking, Harsh Terrain, Wet Conditions Describe Yourself: Casual/Recreational Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I had read to order 1/2 size too big, which I did, and they are comfortable and get the job done. The foxtails in areas I hike are insidious devils, but these boots protect against them well. Also stayed nicely dry when hiking through wet pastures.
By The girl leader from Foothills of California on 06/15/2009 Pros: Ankle Support, Arch Support, Great Traction, Sturdy/Durable, Water Resistant Cons: Laces not tight enough, Long Break-in Best Uses: Day Hiking, Everyday Describe Yourself: Hike leader Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: For the most part,I like these boots. However,I usually wear a heavier boot and these were a little light weight for my personal preference (I just don't know if they will hold up with continued use). On my break-in hike, my feet got 2 "hot spots" around my ankle and 1 blister. Hopefully, they will not take too long to break in. But, the boots look good and are not too clunky. For most recreation, I think they would work out fine. (haven't tried them for backpacking yet).
No break-in period necessary!!

By Rock Girl from Denver, CO on 06/01/2009 Describe Yourself: Casual/Recreational Sizing: Feels full size too big Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: Not impressed. I was very excited to get these. In walks around town, they were nice. My feet got hot, but were otherwise comfortable. On a 12 mile hike, they failed me. They offer no arch support and not very much cushion. My feet got thoroughly soaked, resulting in several blisters. The outer sole could be a little more aggressive. Perhaps I asked to much from them. As a light duty boot they are OK. But for backcountry excursions, not good.
Solid construction and remarkably light By 50butstillhiking from Lakewood, CO on 05/20/2009 Pros: Ankle Support, Arch Support, Comfortable/No Break-In, Great Traction Best Uses: Day Hiking, Light Loads Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: My wife has arch and ankle problems but these boots provided good ankle support without being inflexible. The arch support is not all that she needs but for most people it should be just fine. Haven't tried the boots with a pack but the ankle support looks to be able to support moderate loads.

I am planning to live in these boots on my up coming trip to Denali. They will be perfect in the damp terrain.
By Cadeau's Mum from Marlton, NJ on 05/05/2009 Pros: Ankle Support, Great Traction, Sturdy/Durable, Water Resistant Best Uses: Day Hiking, Harsh Terrain, Heavy Loads, Light Loads, Long-Distance Hiking, Wet Conditions Describe Yourself: Casual/Recreational Sizing: Feels half size too big Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Wore them out of the box on a 3-hour strenuous hike with mid-weight hiking socks, and only had a blister on my left heel. Have had no blisters since the initial hike. Good ankle support. These things have great grip - I can scale rocks like Spiderman!

That makes them perfect for me.
By Adventure Dreaming from PTC, GA on 03/27/2009 Pros: Ankle Support, Arch Support, Comfortable/No Break-In, Great Traction, Sturdy/Durable Best Uses: Long-Distance Hiking Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I plan to wear these boots on a long distance hike. This boot is very comfortable, not too stiff yet provides good support. Fits my narrow heel and wide fore foot well. I really like the hindged eyelets that lock in the laces below the ankle. I can tension the lower part different from the ankle.
