Soild pair of boots

By Bort from Juneau, AK on 06/13/2009

Pros:
Ankle Support, Arch Support, Great Traction, Sturdy/Durable, Water Resistant
Best Uses:
Day Hiking, Harsh Terrain, Long-Distance Hiking, Wet Conditions
Describe Yourself:
Southeast Alaskan
Sizing:
Feels half size too small
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I live in a rainforest, so even a short hike requires waterproof footwear on most days. I have taken them up steep and muddy trails and rock hopping along the coastline, great traction and truly waterproof to about 4.5 inches. Only complaint is that the softer foam ruber (light grey stuff) around the base of the boot tears up pretty easily on rocks. Overall good boots and you cannot do better for the price.

Boot fits narrow feet.

By Brd Hntr from Bow, Wa. on 06/06/2009

Best Uses:
Day Hiking, Everyday, Harsh Terrain, Long-Distance Hiking, Medium Loads
Describe Yourself:

This is a true medium width boot (not wide). It is slightly stiff, but I have not had any break-in issues. You can carry medium loads without feet problems. Good traction on trails.

I wore these boots two long seperate days, the first day they needed broken in and the second was better but not great. I don't suggest going off the path in rocky areas, I already have two small tears in the leather. Gortex holds in standing water but not in wet grass (typical of)

Not for me

By willy from Denver, CO on 04/23/2009

Pros:
Water Resistant
Cons:
Not Comfortable
Best Uses:
Day Hiking
Describe Yourself:
Casual/Recreational
Sizing:
Feels true to size
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

This is a nice looking boot, but the upper lace hook created a pressure point on the ankle and I sent them back. Also, the tongue is narrow so you can't place it between the hook and your ankle.
