These boots are super tough! Just returned from a 23-day Colorado Outward Bound expedition in southern Utah, and these boots still look fairly new (after a long cleaning session, of course). The AT's were put through some of the most difficult mountaineering (La Sal) and canyoneering (Canyonlands) treks I had ever done with expedition loads, day after day for 23 days, and I emerged with just one tiny blister.
If only you could see what had happened to those feet of the rest of my patrol-mates!! In addition to massive blistering, a pair of Merrells fell apart completly (held together by duct-tape), the Asolo 535 II's looked like they were chewed by a bear, and the new Asolo Globolines were almost smooth across the sole and were leaking badly from the forefoot flexing points, just to name a few. The Vascque Alpines and Superhikers did reasonably well, but the two of us who wore the Moraine ATs had the most happy feet. If these boots fit you, I would recommend buying some extra cushion under the balls of you feet so you don't end up bruising them like I did (only after carrying massive packs for three weeks straight).
