By Orlie from Seattle, WA on 11/01/2009 Pros: Comfortable/No Break-In, Great Traction, Sturdy/Durable, Water Resistant Best Uses: Day Hiking, Harsh Terrain, Wet Conditions Describe Yourself: Casual/Recreational Sizing: Feels half size too small Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I have used these boots this fall in the Cascades in Washington. Probably 20 miles on three or four mountain hikes. They work quite well and are dry. This fall there has been a lot of running water on the trails and I have been dry and secure in the water and on snow.
Fantastic Fit and Comfort, Really Great By DEWPoint from Philadelphia on 11/01/2009 Pros: Comfortable/No Break-In Best Uses: Everyday, Grass Describe Yourself: Recreational Walker/Hiker Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Comfortable and enjoyable to wear from the fist that I tried them on. I was concerned about size issue I had with another Raichel boot (I wish I taken Sierra's sizing ½ size advice on another boot) but these were absolutely true to size and perfect fit. Would happily buy another pair of these shoes.
By Turtle from Bowling Green, Ky on 10/29/2009 Cons: Not Comfortable, Squeak Best Uses: Day Hiking, Harsh Terrain, Heavy Loads, Light Loads, Long-Distance Hiking Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer, Environmentalist Sizing: Feels half size too small, Feels too small Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I own an old pair of REI Spirits by Raichle and love them. These boots are too narrow and crowd my forefoot and create problems for a sensitive ganglion on the bottom of my left foot. Am returning these good quality boots because of the fit. I am sorry I couldn't keep them.
Excellent all around hiking boot By PellaCPC from Northern Wisconsin on 10/28/2009 Pros: Ankle Support, Great Traction, Sturdy/Durable, Water Resistant Best Uses: Day Hiking, Harsh Terrain, Long-Distance Hiking, Wet Conditions Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I am a contractor that was looking for an all around boot. I never know when I leave in the morning what I might encounter during the day - snow, mud, sand, etc. This is an excellent quality boot that will meet my need for a boot I can rely on. I also use it for hunting, recently spending the day walking over varied terrain and through swampy ground. My feet did stay dry, however, my experience with any GoreTex product is that it always works when new, but not for very long. I will be putting some waterproofing on shortly. The boot is a little stiff, but any good hiking boot will be. The inside is not leather however, so hard-core backpackers may want to look elsewhere. All in all, a very nice boot for the cost.
By Zenwoman from Barnesville, PA on 10/28/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Great Traction, Stable Best Uses: Cold weather, 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 have a permanently damaged ankle. These boots give me the support I need to where I please in safety. A person who did not need the height in these boots, might not want it. They are also "leaky" around the lacing holes. Other than that, they're wonderful.
Hard to find such a roomy toe box By Love classic clothes from Cambria, California on 10/27/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Great Traction, Stable Best Uses: Day hikes, Everyday Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Sizing: Feels half size too big Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I have wide forefoot and it's nice to have no contact between toes and shoe. I bought knowing these were big-ish, and that left room for additional inserts. Haven't put them in yet, though, because I like the ones that are in there.
By Tree climber from Malvern, PA on 10/27/2009 Pros: Flexible, Sturdy/Durable Describe Yourself: Arborist Tree climber Sizing: Feels half size too big, Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I am an arborist and need a boot that would be durable enough to foot lock up rope and stand in tight branch crotches and not break down. These boot are not too heavy and don't feel like ski boots. After a solid month or two of climbing in them they are working out in every respect. I would recommend them to any of my peers.
Sturdy, comfortable & warm By Lev from East Lansing, MI on 10/27/2009 Pros: Ankle Support, Arch Support, Great Traction, Warm Describe Yourself: Casual/Recreational Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I have bought one pair almost a month ago. I fell in love with them when I firs saw a pair in Romania (country of manufacturing). Provides lots of support (I have ankle problems and it really helps), it is not too heavy and very warm even with light socks (can't wait to try them out in real winter conditions). Overall I am satisfied with the purchase and I hope that they will last long and serve me well. The only thing that is not so great about it is the color: light gray.

By Mama Chickadee from Boca Raton, FL on 10/19/2009 Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I'm just breaking in my feet to my new boots. So far, the boots are great, and feel like my old boots. I've only worn them twice so far, each time on a 3 mile walk on the flat surfaces of South Florida. I have always taped my heels when wearing boots to prevent blisters. This works well for me, so I always do it and never have blisters. I'll write another report when I return from my hiking vacation.
I like the little hooks at the top of the laces and my previous boot inserts fit in these boots perfectly.
