Here's what other sites are saying:

From Moosejaw:
"On Sale. Free Shipping. Montrail Men's Traverse GTX Boot (Spring 2008) Specifications for the Traverse GTX by Montrail Weight: 1 lb 8 oz/0.67 kg Support Extra flexible upper Leather around lower foot for stability Synthetic material around ankle maximizes flexibility Fit Torre-like fit with synthetic components Buffer Zone tongue eliminates lace pressure Light on the feet Design Synthetic components minimize weight Waterproof Gore-Tex liner Vibram Talon outsole SuperLight PolyUrethane midsole Animal Long-distance backpacking Outdoor professionals High-altitude trekking Four-season exploring All who wander"

From RockCreek:
"The Montrail Traverse GTX hiking boot was modeled after the Torre, but designed to be lighter weight. Montrail reduced the weight by using a lightweight polyurethane in the midsole and substituted some of the upper leather for a nylon cordura. Since the boot is built on the same Integrafit last as the Torre and features many of the same design details, the fit is similar. Some people notice that the upper is not as supple as the Torre when it is new, but then find that it softens nicely with use and conforms to their feet. Use this boot for backpacking or day hiking. Being waterproof/breathable, it is suitable for a wide variety of conditions from dry heat to snow."

From Sierra Trading Post:
"CLOSEOUTS. Ideal for day hikes and light backpacking, Montrail Traverse hiking boots provide Gore-Tex(R) waterproof breathable protection, support, and comfort. PU midsole and leather/nylon uppers reduce weight Padded, gusseted tongue keeps debris out Cushioned collar and ankles Removable insole Lugged Vibram(R) outsole 5 ” height 3 lb. 7 oz. pr. Leather and nylon upper Medium width CLOSEOUTS. China"

From Altrec Outdoors:
"The Traverse is one of the quality boots you'll find in Montrail's Torre Series, an innovative collection of lightweight and supportive hiking boots for day hiking and backpacking. It features a fabric and leather upper with a special Buffer Zone tongue that disperses lace pressure while increasing comfort. The Super Light polyurethane midsole optimizes the minimal weight package without compromising protection and support on uneven terrain. If you like to keep your gear weight to a minimum without dumping a load of cash on expensive boots, the Montrail Traverse is the way to go."

"Definitely not comfortable out of the box. Traverse boots share the tendency of many of Montrail's styles to become too narrow where my toes are widest and to turn inward at the toes. This causes my little toes to jam up against the side of the upper."

"These boots are very comfortable, hiking through rocky terrain, muddy trails, or just around town. I however had one boot blow out after a year (sole became detached from the front of the boot.) Until that time I would say the most comfortable, dry boot I have owned. Hopefully Montrail will repair or replace them."

"I've had these boots for three years now and they have performed well in all conditions- loose rocks, water, snow, ice and mud. The Gore-Tex waterproof lining really helps keep feet dry and the IntegraFit design is comfortable and gives good ankle support for backpacking with moderate loads."

"Very comfortable right out of the box. Have put many miles on them in the last year and they exhibit no signs of undue stress. Expect them to last many more miles."

"One of the best fitting boots I've owned. Trekked over twelve hours through ice, snow, tallus and scree and not a single blister."
