From Backcountry.com:
"Between the heavily reinforced uppers and waterproof breathable Gore-Tex insert, the Montrail Men's Helium GTX Hiking Boot takes on the toughest trail conditions. An aggressive, sticky Gryptonite sole ensures you stay upright whether you hike through mud or scree, or up a steep granite slab. Montrail made the Helium GTX Hiking Boot stout enough to provide support while you carry a massive pack, but it's not so stiff that you'll leave it behind for a day hike."

"I bought this boot because of its looks and after the good review on Backpacker. It's a very light boot, the grip is awesome, and have had no blistering.

The problem is that on my very first day of using them, I noticed that the back portion of the boot was beginning to peal from the frame."

"This is by far the most comfortable boot I've ever worn. The Helium GTX story:

Two years ago, Montrail came out with a design for a boot called the Overland GTX, which never made production. It utilized the Boa lacing system in conjunction with a traditional lacing system to keep you foot planted in the heel of the shoe, while still lacing down into the footbed."
