"First of all, these are the older one sport boots, which I LOVED DEARLY, untill the last hike when the sole (last and all) decided to seperate from the upper! These boots have been my best friend on countless trails for years with ZERO blisters. 25 miles of high sierras right out of the box."

"While I have seen many complaints here about these boots, I personally have found none better. I am a professional survey archaeologist and walk from dusk until dawn during usually eight months out of the year. I personally cover a 100-acre plot of land and walk a 30-meter transect, and that is for 10 days in a row."

"Many people seem to love these boots, and with good reason. Yes, for me, there was no break-in period. Sure, the leather goes soft very fast, and they are darn heavy, but I kept them in good condition and they lasted long enough to be worthwhile."

"My two cents after reading a recent bad review of these boots:Great, great boots! I've also owned a pair for a little over 5 years and basically used them exclusivly off-trail (geological field work in the Wind River Mts. , WY and lava plateaus of SE OR/Northern NV) with about 20-50 lbs of pack wt (rocks)."

"These boots suck. I have had them for five years and put maybe 14 days on them. The leather is too soft--better suited for women's gloves. The sole is too tame--I get better traction from my Smartwools. I feel like I am lacing burritos on my feet every time I put these "boots" on."

"The One Sport Moraine is an extremely comfortable boot. I own a paire of the moraine classics and have hiked the entire Adirondack 46 with them. The quality of the soles could be improved. The lamanation has come apart several times. I temperarily fix them often with boot glue but it comes apart after a few trips."

"I have owned three pairs of the One Sport Moraine Boot. I must say that these boots appeared to be well built but in time they all fell apart. Eyelets pulled out, rands became unglued and the outer soles delaminated completely. I originally only intended on buying one pair but with my continued complaints to One Sport's customer service I ended up with three pairs before I finally called it quits."

"I have now owned these boots for five years. I have taken "fairly" good care not to destroy them. Two years ago I had them professionally resoled and the soles are solid now (Cost $65, Dave Page Cobbler in Seattle). The uppers have really lost much of their support and look really beat."

"I initially loved these boots. Very comfortable and good support. However, I have had trouble with the rand and now the sole seperating from the boot. I get wet feet, which we all know is no fun.

This is after five years (1994 models). For the first two years they had heay use (3 months every day) and there after moderate use (a few weeks a year)."

"At first i liked this boot a lot. It fit well, was tough, and waterproof. Recently they've become unwaterproof. I put three coats of Nikwax on and the darn things still get soaked. I, unlike some others, haven't had the delamination problems. They do give tons of support, and I appreciate their overall toughness."

"The comment mentioned by "World Traveler" on this site prompted me to write. For starters, I absolutely agree that Asolo makes excellent hiking/backpacking boots (I have owned 2 pairs).

However, I am currently on my first pair of One Sport Moraines and they are every bit as awesome as any of the 2 pair of Asolos that I've worn."

"One Sport Moraines are the worst!!! hiking boots I have ever purchased.

For one thing, it took me 3 !!! months to break them in, 3 months of torture on my feet as the Morraines have a narrow toe-box. The break-in period was agony!!!

Secondly, after 6 months of average wear the damn things were falling apart."

"This is an update to an earlier review of mine on these boots.

I have now owned them over 2. 5 yrs and have had the uppers re-glued to the sole plate to stop leaking. As I was returning from a snowshoeing trip I noticed that both heel rands are now completely unattached from the uppers (the shoe straps did NOT even touch that part of the boots - I checked)."

"PROS:

Fits almost everyone -- roomy foot, snug heel.

Absolute best cushy midsole I've seen.

Easy to sell at the outdoor shop I work at since Backpacker magazine loves them.

CONS:

Not as waterproof as Backpacker would have you believe."

"HEAVY boots, but excellent leather. That 2. 8 Nubuck keeps looking good under constant abuse, and it repels water better than any other pair of boots I've owned. On every hike where I've encountered rain, I've noticed that everyone else's boots let in the moisture long before the One Sports even began to feel damp."

Sooooo I am a little disappointed that the gluing between the soles and uppers has begun to deteriorate already. This has led to water leaking in -- slowly -- just where the boot creases on the inner side if the boot next to the ball of my foot."

They required no break-in period whatsoever, and even though they are technically only a 3-season boot, they served me well on a 3-day winter snowshoeing expedition."
