I wanted to love this boot--it is very well-constructed & sturdy/stiff which I was looking for as I often carry loads &/or am scrambling through scree. However it was almost too firm & I ended up w/toe & knee pain. Given, the knee pain is not solely the boots fault. I personally need a really snug fit through the ankle and found that for my narrow feet & unstable snkles this was not a fit for me. Will be a great boot for others though I'm sure!
I bought these after learning I have a congenital ankle issue that was causing pain. Theyāre comfortable and supportive. I was able to complete a 12 mile hike with no pain, even prior to getting the custom orthotics that my doctor said will help stabilize my ankles.
These are the best quality boots Iāve owned just wish they werenāt so expensive I would of bought two pairs
