Great lightweight trail shoe. Have put over 500 hard miles on my pair so far and they seem to be holding up fairly well. This shoe is by far best on trails. The sole is not very aggressive and mine have suffered from cross country travel in both Glacier and the Grand Canyon. Plenty of support with a pack under 40 pounds and a set of hiking poles. Would recommend them for any day hikes, most multi day backpacking on trails, and wet weather. Not great on scree, wet vegitation, or lava fields. Cool to wear.
