So far so good. Excellent ankle protection and notice I feel quite comfortable in these boots compared to their competitors. I would recommend if you are thinking of purchasing. I typically wear a 10.5 US so I've found 44.5 to be excellent.
I’ve walked around 40 miles in these boots. They are some of the best boots I’ve used. I like the aggressive tread, and the over the ankle protection. I’m unsure what the harder material on the inside angle is, but since I tent to smack my ankle together while I walk, it seems like that reinforcement is in just the right place. Big fan of the multi colored laces too. My wish list for these boots would be a non-Goretex version. We all know the ups and downs of Goretex. A loop on the heel to assist in getting them on/off wouldn’t go unnoticed either. Overall, great boots!
Very thoughtfully designed and high performance. Keep making this one. Sizing is small like all LS shoes, size up.
Very tall heel and incredibly painfully narrow toe box. After putting 30 miles on these they are unbearable, the tall heel exacerbates toes pressure on downhills. The split heel sole does help with gate, but unless you have the feet of a goat, these will only cause you pain. Workmanship and materials are very good.
