If the boot fits, wear it! By Tunacan from Chesapeake, VA on 10/20/2009 Pros: Ankle Support, Arch Support, Sturdy/Durable Best Uses: Day Hiking, Heavy Loads, Long-Distance Hiking Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Footwear is highly subjective on the demensions of one's own feet. However, If the Montrail Torre fits your feet after a reasonably short break-in, you will most likely be satisfied with this product. I average about 700 miles of Appalachian Trail per pair that I have owned. The stability of the heel cup is immediately evident even to one like me who tends to roll ankles. The durable soles spread body and pack weight evenly and does not batter my feet on rough terrain. Traction is very acceptable on steep slanting rock. It is not uncommon to see other AT hiker's wearing this boot and I must say that I have yet to hear one give the Torre anything but praise.
Long break in but great boot By Commander from Hendersonville, North Carolina on 10/09/2009 Pros: Ankle Support, Arch Support, Sturdy/Durable, Warm, Water Resistant Best Uses: Day Hiking, Everyday, Heavy Loads, Light Loads, Wet Conditions Describe Yourself: Casual/Recreational Sizing: Feels half size too small Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I wear these boots everyday working and hiking. It took a few days for them to break in and at one point I thought of returning them. Once they broke in they feel great. They are waterproof and have great support. I also ordered 1/2 size larger. If I hadn't they would be too small. The boots would still be tight if using wool socks. However they are a great buy and I would buy them again and recommend them to a friend.
Best Boot I've Ever owned By drew from Minneapolis, MN on 09/15/2009 Pros: Ankle Support, Arch Support, Comfortable/No Break-In, Flexible, Great Traction, Sturdy/Durable, Warm, Water Resistant Best Uses: Cold Weather, Day Hiking, Everyday, Harsh Terrain, Heavy Loads, Light Loads, Long-Distance Hiking, Wet Conditions Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Sizing: Feels half size too big, Feels too large Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I got these boots a half size too big because they were out of my size at the time. It really hasn't made that much difference. These are very comfortable boot! The week after I got them I went portaging and Canoeing in the Boundry Waters. I was up to my ankel most of the time and water never got in. If you do get these boots wet there is a few day dry time. Otherwise I think they can handle any terrain and weather condition.
Very comfortable, shaped for MY foot By Ssnowmann from Western Slope of Colorado on 09/05/2009 Pros: Ankle Support, Comfortable/No Break-In, Flexible, Orthotic friendly, Water Resistant Best Uses: Day Hiking, Everyday, Light Loads, Long-Distance Hiking, Wet Conditions Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer, Casual/Recreational Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: These boots fit my feet like a glove. Montrail's ergonomic research into fitting our feet paid off. These were first hiking boots, then everyday boots. They are lighter, therefore, more flexible and not stiff. Because they are lighter and flexible, they do not have the ultimate support that more Heavy Duty boots do, but, these are FAR more comfortable. I got no blisters from them. These are great boots for everyday wear and for faster, lighter hikes or backpack trips. They are especially good for terrain where your foot must bend A LOT and where heal blisters could be a big problem. I have had mine for 3-4 years now and will be replacing them with the same new boot. OH YES, I wear orthotics and the original footbed pads pulled out easily and these boots accepted my orthotics immediately and with no problems.
