"Loved the lightness of these shoes and used them on a couple of trips to Glacier National Park. The trails that in that park were definitely not rough, however I developed a tear along one of the seams. Not exactly the most durable shoe I have ever owned."

"They leaked. I am hikerchap, aka Kritios Boy too. I was standing in a river and they leaked and my socks got soaked and it was 18 degrees and my toes went all dead. So they royally suck. They are just too light to protect the membrane and your feet. So save your money."

"I loved the lack of weight, complete waterproofness, and comfort. However, I have done Mts. Washington, Princeton, and a hike in the Alpine Lakes in WA with this boot and limitations have come to light. In these very rocky areas, the boot lets your feet get beat up."
