These shoes are lightweight and comfortable and provide great support and water resistance. I wore these straight out of the box on a snowy 10 mile hike and my feet stayed warm, dry, and blister free the entire time. Great traction on the up and downhills. Can’t wait to wear them on more hikes!
I didn't find I needed any time to break these hiking boots in! I bought these recently and have been on a few hikes already ranging from 4 to 10 miles and they are very comfortable. They have great traction and good ankle support while still offering some flexibility (I don't like my hiking boots to be very stiff around the ankle). With all hiking boots, the way you tie the laces can impact the comfortability and I found that I have to tie these pretty tight so that the tongue isn't irritating (even with long hiking socks on), but it was a quick fix! I would definitely recommend these.
First pair of hiking shoes and I’m in love. They are so comfy, waterproof, and even look snazzy. My feet did not get cold or wet. Although most reviews say size up I actually had to size down in these. I’m usually an 8.5 but found the 8 actually fits me perfect. 10/10 recommend.
so I got these when I realized they stop selling the mid3 goretex, they are super comfortable and durable recently used them on a snow hike in 6 inches of snow and feet stayed dry, only complaint is they can be tight to get your foot into, it overall a great light hiking boot
Bought these last minute before hiking a 14er, didn't experience any blisters! They don't hit too high on the ankles so you still have plenty of flexibility and they had good grip even on some frosty and wet surfaces.
