Just bought these yesterday and excitedly headed out for 2 mile rugged hike to try them. They were very stiff around the ankles. Felt like having ice skates on. Had to untie the top loops to continue. The grommet where the lace goes through 2nd from top constantly digs in to inner ankle. No cushioning over it at all. Shoe sole very unstable and turning right and left on roots and rocks and tripping constantly from the toe. Very unsafe feeling on cliff edges
I had the same issue with friction at both ankles where the tongue and grommet are sewn despite thick hiking socks and great experience with the previous model of this shoe. Ended up wearing ankle bone gel protectors from zentoes which worked great but seems crazy to need that extra layer every time I lace these up. Not optimistic this issue will go away with wear since we’re not talking about something that just needs to stretch out. The wider toe box is still pretty narrow by current standards. On the plus side, I get many unsolicited compliments on the look of these boots from fashion-forward strangers. I’m mostly using them for long city walks now. Wouldn’t repurchase.
They are comfortable right out of the box but they are supposed to be waterproof, my first walk in them after it rained and the top of the toe area leaked I didn’t dunk my foot in a puddle it was just in the wet grass.
They're very stiff and tight around the ankle. Couldn't wear them for long ger after 3rd day of use. They are light. Didn't feel they were grippy enough. Didn't get a chance to test with water.
