By jr from no cal on 09/07/2008 Pros: Attractive Design, Comfortable, Durable, Good Padding, Versatile Best Uses: Pavement, Trails Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: These shoes are really cool. They are very comfortable, stable and well made. When I have lots of "running around"to do on any given day. I wear these. Only problem is that they do absorb dirt. anyone tried washing them in the washing machine?
Great shoe for not too technical climb. By gexas from Atlanta, GA on 09/02/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Great Traction, Stable, Water Resistant Cons: Insole stinks Replace it Best Uses: Backcountry, Day hikes, Everyday, Wet Weather 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 took this shoe as a backup hiking shoe on my 76 mile trip to summit Mt. Whitney in CA. I had some bad blisters on my feet from the extreme climbs of the trip and my 80 lb. pack. I threw these shoes on to give my feet some relief and they worked great. I climbed 2k feet in one day over nasty boulders and rocks without a problem from these shoes. Excellent traction, pretty good support and stiff foot bed, water proof as I crossed numerous streams and they seem to be pretty durable. They were comfortable too and didn't bother my blisters a great deal. I wish I had bought a better insole as the ones that come with them are junk and don't cushion your feet that much. Also, as long as you have some good whicking sock liners your feet breathe pretty well. I found that my feet stayed pretty dry and didn't get that wet from perspiration.
This was my first shot at Raichle as I usually buy Salomon. I was impressed however, if it wasn't for the bad insoles I'd give it 5 stars.

By Annapurna 1 from Broken Arrow, OK on 08/16/2008 Pros: Breathable, Great Traction Cons: Break in time, Narrow toe box, Not Water Resistant, Not waterproof, Stiff Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Sizing: Feels half size too small Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: This shoe would not be good for backcountry use as morning dew on lawn grass alone quickly penetrates it! Breaking in would take more than a week. It feels like a narrow running shoe attached to stiff Vibram soles. Too narrow for feet after a day walking. This might be good for city park walking only but even the littlest water would soak it quick. I had to return my pair for real mid-hiking/trail running shoes.
Very Comfortable and fits average foot By Jeff from Philadelphia, PA on 08/15/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Stable, Water Resistant Best Uses: Day hikes, Everyday Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Very nice goretex every day shoe and day hiker. Light weight, good support and very secure feel. Breathes even during warm summer days. Highly recommend.
True craftsmanship and fine leather By tenderfoot from NC on 08/12/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Great Traction, Non-slip sole, Stable, Water Resistant Best Uses: Backcountry, Cold weather, Field work, Wet Weather Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This boot is like riding in a luxury car. Plush, leather lined top rim to gently hug the ankle. A little stiff but will break in nicely and I don't expect any blisters. Other boots earned my trailname of "tenderfoot".
I would like another pair By Santa ladie from Kenosha Wi. on 08/11/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Great Traction, Non-slip sole, Stable Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Sizing: Feels half size too big Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: they are a bit wide in the heel..nice roomy toe box and good support
SIERRA'S SIZING IS COMPLETELY WRONG HERE By DAY-TRIPPER from S.F. BAY AREA on 08/09/2008 Best Uses: Day hikes, Everyday, Wet Weather Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: THESE ARE FANTASTIC BOOTS ,RAICHLE ARE ONE OF MY TOP FAVORITES, BUT THERE IS SOME CONFUSION WITH THE ADVERTISED SIZING.
S.T.P. SAYS TO ORDER A SIZE DOWN, SO THE 7 WOULD WORK FOR ME.RECEIVED THEM AND WERE TOO LARGE AND THE SEWN LABEL INSIDE SAYS US 8.5 WOMEN'S, NOT A 7.THE OUTSIDE OF THE RAICHLE BOX SAID 8.5 U.S.; UK 7. SO IF YOU WEAR A U.S. LADIES 8.5, GET THESE, IT'S A GREAT SHOE FOR THE PRICE.
I didn't even have to break these in! By Loulabelle from Tampa, FL on 08/04/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Stable, Water Resistant Best Uses: Day hikes, Everyday Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: These shoes were comfy right out of the box- no break in time necessary. I ordered my regular size and they are plenty big with light/mid-weight wool socks. Not sure about the waterproof qualities yet- will test them out in Oregon later this month.
By sdizzle from Minneapolis, MN on 07/30/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Great Traction, Stable, Water Resistant Best Uses: Backcountry, Day hikes, Everyday, Wet Weather Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Sizing: Feels half size too big Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I got these to do some hiking on a recent vacation to New Zealand, they were comfortable and stable in the wet brush. I ordered a size down as recommended and they still felt a little big, but not sure if another half size down would have been too small.
Arch support, traction & width great! By jwoman from Aspen, CO on 07/28/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Great Traction, Non-slip sole, Stable, Water Resistant Best Uses: Day hikes, Everyday Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Sizing: Feels full size too big Width: Feels true to width Comments: This is a great shoe, but I'd say runs about a size and a-half larger than what you would expect. |
