I bought mine from a guy who used them once. The fist time I used them I did a Presidental Traverse in NH. This is some of the roughest terrain in the Northeast. After 23 miles in a single day I fell in love with the boots. Not a single blister. The only recommendation that I have is to buy a good pair of custom insoles. The ones that come with them are really thin and don't provide that much support. Besides that they are a great boot!
