"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."
