By Olympic Mountains hiker/climber from Hansville, WA on 09/18/2009 Pros: Comfortable/No Break-In, Flexible, Water Resistant Best Uses: Day Hiking, Light Loads, Long-Distance Hiking Describe Yourself: Alpine Climberhiker Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I have used these boots on 3 steep hikes, up and down. Probably covered 25 miles so far. They were remarkably comfortable. Traction on rock and scree has been just fine. That is in spite of the fact the sole does not look too aggressive. I have not been in really wet conditions so I can't say they are waterproof yet.
By Billygoat from Odenton, MD on 09/17/2009 Pros: Lightweight, Water Resistant Cons: Lacks ankle support, Not supportive Best Uses: Short wet walks Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: Ask any hiking boot sales person and they will tell you - Support comes from the sole or shank of the boot. I bought these boots online thinking the only thing I have to worry about was size. Sierra trading post is very true to getting you the correct fit. I was looking for an inexpensive boot intended use is for day hikes, house work and motorcycle riding.
The boots arrived promptly and fit great. I was disappointed. I never experienced a boot that lacked the foot bed shank. The shank usually keeps rocks from poking up and it keeps the foot stable in uneven terrain too. I did not realize some one made a tall weatherproof slipper. I was disappointed that the boot had less support than my Colodado made hiking sandals. I would only recommend this foot wear for short trips to the store in cool wet conditions, and in areas where stable footing is not required. If you have strong ankles, add a set of super foot beds and you might be-able complete 2 hour hike on groomed trails. End result, you can do more with a set of trail running shoes and get better cushion too.
By WSH from Bucks County, PA on 09/11/2009 Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: These are nice boots, but they were very narrow. My husband wears the Lowa Renegade normally, and these were much narrower. I returned them quite some time ago and am still waiting for a credit. Not happy at all.
