Materials: Nubuck -- half leather lining
Use: Trail with light load
Break-in Period: Almost out of the box
Weight: 2'10" (9.5)
Price Paid: Ca. $150 (bought in New Zealand)

I bought these after chewing up my left ankle with Limmer Lightweights on the Milford Track. The glove leather lining of the heel section was a real selling point, part of what is generally a glove-like fit made possible by the to-toe lacing system. With the green Superfeet footbed, my heel is raised high enough that I can feel the top of the heel counter, but this has not been a huge problem. One moderate drawback is that the fabric insert on the tongue bellows leaks in wet weather. Overall, a very comfortable and supportive light-weight hiker in dry conditions.
