By Burly Bertha from Arcata, CA on 06/11/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Durable Describe Yourself: Environmentalist, Professional, Recreational Watersporter Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I got these boots used at an outdoor consignment shop, having no idea how awesome they would be. Perfect fit for my very flat feet. I tend to like wider toe boxes and these are also perfect for that. I am a woman and have never liked women's shoes. Almost completely waterproof, though after 5 days of rain and slush, moisture did get through. They respond well to leather waterproofing treatment. I have no idea how long they were used before I got them, but they're going strong after 4 years of my abuse. Just a little leather/sole separation at the toe.
By EL from Boston, MA on 07/26/2008 Pros: Durable, Great Traction, Stable, Water Resistant Best Uses: Backcountry, Cold weather, 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've had these boots for 3 years since getting them for [$] st STP. They are made of one-piece leather and the Gore-tex lining - with regular application of wax to the leather, these boots have kept my feet dry in winter snow and crossing streams. They take a few hikes to wear in (using leather conditioner helps soften it), so don't take them on an expedition out of the box. But after this, they are great. My feet are wider than normal and they are snug in these on shorter hikes, but they do ache a little at the widest parts after longer day hikes 9I suggest Asolo boots if you have wider feet). Good ankle support. The soles are long lasting.
By Dave from Dolores, CO on 06/17/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Great Traction, Non-slip sole, Stable, Water Resistant Best Uses: Backcountry, Cold weather, Day hikes, 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 actually purchased these mens boots for my teenage daughter who is off on multiple week back-packing trips this summer- they fit her perfectly.
might be a bit much for day-to-day casual wear, but for serious hiking / mountaineering, they're great.
