Plus - this boot is very supportive and i can hike all day and not even feel it in my feet. good traction in most situations. wicks moisture well. incredible drying ability. i got them soaked, dumped it out, changed my socks and my feet didnt get wet. the boot was still damp inside, but your feet would never know it. i was amazed. very waterproof.

negetives - boot is hard to break in. i didnt get any blisters though so i shouldnt complain. after break in the toe box area slowely started to shrink. i tried everything to stretch them. if they did stretch back they would shrink in my closet over a couple weeks. i can only wear them with light socks now.

conclusion - i am finally giving up on these boots for anything but summer hikes where i can wear light socks. i am buying a pair of vasques for winter duty. if you buy a pair of these buy them a half size big and they should be outstanding.
