Only have about 30 miles backpacking on the trail with these now, but so far, very impressive. Easy fast break-in, with adequate support and super light weight. Ensuring these are water proof is important to me, so tested these by filling a bathtub with 3-6 inches of water and submerging them up to just below the top of the waterproof membrane just below where the laces are tied. There was no leakage, even while walking around in the submerged water. Will retest periodically to see how long they remain completely waterproof, but so far, very impressive.
Good fit and easy break-in. But, not water proof. Water went through toe after 20 minutes in light rain. Look for 'Gortex' for real water proof. Getting Nikwax to do a complete water proofing.
