I been reading through the reviews and finding alot of horror stories about these boots. My experience with them however has been ok. I first started wearing my pair of superlights on short day hikes in the Whites. They worked quite well for this purpose. They are light, sturdy, durable, and have a sole that is fairly stiff with real good traction.

However, one summer I took them to Mt. Whitney in Cali where we went up and down the mountain in one long day. When I took my boots off at the end of this 20 mile day I found that there wasn't much of anything left on the bone of my left heal. The people standing around me grimaced, I frowned, and the lady who ran the store at the bottom of the climb came running out with peroxide and bandages. It really was an awful thing to look at.

Despite this I am now quite fond of my M2. My skin has healed and now after three years my boots feel wonderful on my feet. So if you are willing to pay your dues you can't beat this boots combination of light weight and support. If you are going to cry about a couple blisters then you should save your money.
