Molded nylon midsole supports add torsional rigidity to keep feet stable and safe on uneven ground under pack loads. Self-cleaning Vibram® Talon rubber outsoles grip with hawk-like determination into wet and dry terrain for dependable traction and braking."

"Even though I got a really great price for my boots I still think they are great boots! I think they are definitely for a person who has a narrow foot and has a high arch. And they have no break in period. I very happy purchase of these shoes."

"This is the most comfortable boot I ever have. It just felt perfect from the first hike. I also added the Montrail footbed with solid arch support which does make the boot even better. However, it's not perfect and I do have a few complaints.

First, the edge of both rubber toe guard came loose after just a total of eight days on rugged trail."

"I have to agree with the previous poster who commented on that awful spot in the heel that absolutely rubs you raw. That hasn't stopped me from putting hundreds of miles on these boots but I pay for it every time I wear them. My feet never get wet and besides the heel they are always comfortable and extremely durable."

"Overall fantastic boot. No break-in time, relatively light, very durable. I have a narrow heel but was able to adjust the lacing to get the support where I needed it the most without cutting off circulation to the rest of my foot."

"Would have been the PERFECT pair of boots if it weren't for one thing. . . a BADLY misplaced seam in the Gore-tex liner that gave me horrible blisters on the back of my heel EVERY time that I would hike in them. I endured such punishment for several trips, hoping that this quality would eventually "break in", but it never did."

"This is an excellent boot. I'm an archaeologist and have to depend on a good pair of boots like a scuba diver depends on air. I have a wide foot and a high arch. . . thanks mom. The boot fit like a glove, in fact I can't remember a boot ever fitting so well."

"Great boot right out of the box. Literally no break-in time. You always hear that but I've never experienced it until getting this boot. If you have a mid to narrow foot with a high arch, this is the one. Fits snug, but not squeezing, from the heel through the instep but the toebox widens out for plenty of room for the ball of your foot and toes."
