Good quality trail runner By eNutritionServices.com from Yellowstone National Park, WY on 05/10/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Great Traction, Stable Best Uses: Backcountry, Day hikes, Everyday Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I use this product most for backcountry hikes and everyday walks around the neighborhood with my girls. Dislike the fact that they are not water resistant. They are light weight, which is a must for me, and the sole appears to provide good traction. No major hike this summer yet, so haven't given them a complete workout.

They are a little stiff at first.
By Stearns from Flagstaff, Az. on 03/06/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Great Traction, Stable Best Uses: Backcountry, Day hikes Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This shoe cups your heel and truly prevents ankle rolls that commonly happen 4-8 times during a normal hike. Yet it is well balanced and light in its construction at the same time. I have taken this model on short easy hikes and rock infested vertical climbs and cannot say enough positive things about this shoe!
Great, but not totally all around shoe By Mountain Girl from Juneau, Alaska on 01/06/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Great Traction, Stable Cons: Bad Traction Frozen Dirt, Not Water Resistant Best Uses: Backcountry, Day hikes, Everyday Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I used to always buy the classic, high ankle hiking boot. But, these almost always gave me bad blisters on the back of my heels. So, I decided to give these, shorter ankle hiking shoes. They've been wonderful! No blisters except when I wore a bad pair of socks that weren't made for hiking. They have great traction on muddy or soft ground, but they don't do so well on frozen ground.
These shoes definetely aren't water resistant, and easily get wet. I haven't minded this at all when hiking in 50+ degree weather. But, when hiking through snow when it's less than 30, the snow on the top of the shoes melts and gets my feet wet. If I stop hiking, me feet will get quite cold. So, I've taken to wearing two pairs of good, wool socks.
