"One other review notes that a plastic eyelet ripped off. I could see how this could happen as they can get caught with the support plastic on the other boot as they pass when walking.

Squeaking, come on, there is no way for fan belt squeaking to come out of a hiking boot of this construction."

"I bought a pair of these last summer for a hike around Shasta. They squeaked. I don't mean they made a little noise, I mean I sounded like I threw a fan belt. They were otherwise comfortable, but I would recommend them only to the deaf."

"I initially noticed these boots when I saw they received awards from both Backpacker and Outside magazine. Since I was heading out to hike the JMT, I was in the market for new boots as the ones I had had given me a lot of blister problems. It took me a while to get over their funky apperance, but once I was over it, they proved to be very lightweight and supportive."
