"When you first pick up these boots, you notice the weight and wonder to yourself do I need boots this heavy? They also feel a little bulky at first, but I was surprised how quickly they broke in for me.

The footing feels solid and lacing feels just right compared to other boots where one has to adjust the laces several times during a hike."

"I bought these following an exhaustive fitting session at REI to find something, anything, that fit properly after owning a rock-hard pair of Italian snooty-boots that never broke in and hurt like the devil. The Montrail Torre GTX Wide fit the bill perfectly."

"I bought these boots for fastpacking, hiking and general backpacking and so far the have yet to disappoint. Although I only have about 250 miles on these boots i feel as though they will continue to serve me well.

Boot provides a solid "mid level" support."

"Not the most comfortable boot I have ever owned, but that's the price you pay for durability. The uppers are really tough and held up to 2 years of everyday hiking in the Great Basin. Finally retired them when the soles wore through. They lived a good life and went 1000+ miles before calling it quits."

"I bought these boots about 2 years ago and have been thoroughly impressed. I wore these boots everywhere, in town, backpacking, hiking, and they're still going. They broke in fairly quickly and were comfortable right out of the box. The padding on the top was good for about 1 1/2 years and then the laces started to cut into my feet."

"Actually, I have two pairs of these boots, one that was purchased new at REI, and another used pair purchased at REI's return sale. These boots are strong enough to handle very rocky trails, but are also fairly light. I have hiked mostly in Nevada, Utah, and New Mexico with these boots, so don't know much about the Gore-tex feature."

"A very comfortable boot needing almost no break-in time. They held up great hiking Mt. Washington this summer. Last spring in upstate New York they kept my feet nice and dry even though there was six inches of snow on the trail. The only things I would change are the insoles but I usually do that to all of my boots/sneakers/etc."

"Very comfortable boot right out of the box. However, within a year of purchase the interior liner started to separate in the area of the toe box. It was like wearing a sock with wrinkles you couldn't get out. Rendered the boot worthless.

In light of this, I wouldn't buy another pair of Montrails."

"An excellent boot. Very comfortable. For 18 months I was very happy with this boot. Then it got a little wet and the sole started to separate. Now I've retired the boot, but nothing else is wrong with it. Doesn't make sense this boot would fall apart after getting a little wet."

"These boots held up very well through strenuous training, then a 10-day backpaking trek in the mountains of New Mexico. They demanded minimal maintenance while carrying me +55lbs 55+ miles. With extra waterproofing, they also prevented my feet from feeling the least bit of moisture."
