Above: The current Grand Traverse, which may differ slightly from the version reviewed.

Materials: Leather/Gore tex
Use: rough trail with high loads
Break-in Period: 15 miles
Weight: 3 lb
Price Paid: $149

Got them for the support, as I weigh 290 without a pack. Broke in with no problems after just a few trail miles and some around town wear. Ball bearing eyelets give great fit in the forefoot area, but 1st set of speedlace eyelets are a bit clumsy. No big deal. Very waterproof, good traction wet or dry.

Fit is good but I did get some blisterng on back of heel and tendon. I think a bit of custom fitting and a good pair of insoles (Superfeet or the like) will take care of minor complaints. All in all, a heckuva deal, since they list for 249. Give em a look.
