So far 5 stars. I just got them a couple days ago ... but I have been looking for a high-quality, all leather boot that will fit my 'Birkenstock-toes' and my very narrow heel and I am so delighted to have found something that really fits and feels great with toe wiggleroom and no pinching and my heel is snug. I'll update once I start hiking in them after the waterproofing ... I can't wait!

UPDATED JUNE 15, 2007
Hi - I wrote a quick review recently and since I have very much enjoyed these boots - My feet have stayed dry after waterproofing. The best part are the grippy soles on the slippery rocks - my Asolos do not compare and I slip around, my Vasques are soaked after a short time and my feet hurt from the soft soles.

The only not-perfect-part is that I feel they need a better foot pad, but I have been on rather long hikes with them out-of-the-box and they have been tremendous on the rocks, no foot-aches. There is enough support for my ankles, great padding when I wedge between rocks and they needed very little break-in time; I love them!
