I really like this pair of boots. After a day or two of wearing them around to break them in I went with my family and did the long day trip from Curry Village to the top of Half Dome. And with me I carried a well supplied day's worth of food.

The hike up went well and the only downside towards the boot was it felt a little heavy. After hiking all the way down the mountain my toes were in a good amount of pain, but so were others so I won't blame this on the boot.

On another trip in Yosemite I used my boots for some good ole rock jumping in the river and tree climbing. They worked great when your foot would slip into the water the Gore-tex would not allow the water in. However if you were to sink your whole foot the water would be locked in and you would need to empty them out.

Overall it is a great shoe and despite a little bit of pain, which i think is from a poor break in period they are a good shoe.
