"I've had these for about 4 years, they're beat down and well worn. So longevity they're great. I hike a lot.

My main problem with these boots is that they are very hot. I hike in colder weather, even, and still my feet get wet.

On a better note: no blisters, sturdy ankle support. Sometimes my arches hurt in these."

"I recently bought these boots after spending a good 2 hours in the store trying on different boots. These were more comfortable than any others that I had tried on. Waterproof for pretty deep water and the ankle support is excellent. I backpack and couldn't ask for a better pair of boots for hiking, and other outdoor activities."

"I have done numerous day hikes of 4-10 miles over some pretty rugged terrain with these boots. I haven't taken them backpacking yet but these boots are incredibly comfortable. I have not gotten a blister from wearing these boots yet.

Additionally, the ankle support is the best I have ever had."

"Overall the boots are comfortable but I had problems with the quality. The rubber toe guard is pealing away on both boots and the inside of the arch, where the sole meets the leather, is coming apart. It looks to me like there is an issue with the glue in both cases."

"When I went boot shopping, I was willing to spend a lot more than what these boots cost. I tried some higher dollar models on and spent a few hours in the store going through everything they had (Bass Pro Shop-big selection). In the end, these boots had the best fit of any I tried on-so for me, these were the keepers."
