"I have severe overpronation, and my podiatrist recommended looking for a hiking shoe for day-to-day wear that would give me even more motion control than Brooks Beast. The shoe definitely works in that regard. Both shoes are model II, size 14.

The problem with the shoe is that it wears out quickly."

"I am a big fan of Garmont shoes. I am generally pleased with this model. After about 6 months I was getting a 'squeak' in one sole from what I'd guess is initial separation. I RMA'd them to Garmont USA and they sent back a brand new pair, no questions asked. The new ones seem fine and I have experienced no issues going forward."

"Unlike the previous reviewers, I have not had any problems with the quality of these boots. I purchased them in 2004 and have used them on 3 annual 100+ mile Appalachian Trail section hikes. They fit my feet quite well, although I had to replace the insoles with orthotics to accommodate my higher arches."

"Like the other review, the shoe was great at first. After about 11 months the shoe started to fall apart. Now after one year I have a crack in the sole of each shoe running from the ball of my foot across. I can only use them for yard work."

"Initially I was quite taken by this shoe - it fit from the start and was well suited to day hiking. After one year of use, however, the soles fell off and there is no way of replacing it. Garmont told me that they could not supply new soles, and that a repair in any case would cost more than a new pair."
