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). Not sure of the exact mileage (minmal est. might be ~700-1000 mi) and I've had them resoled three times (I'm hard on boots), but until this past summer, the leather was wonderful! The last resole I had a rand on the front of the boot put on (to protect what little leather was remaining on the toes) so they kind of look like the new AT.

Anyway, walking all over very, very sharp basaltic lava flows and basically being on rock all the time, has a tendency to tear up a boot. Yes, the sides and toes have become very scarred, but all along, the leather held up fine (I have crappy ankles, so support is crucial). My only complaint would be the soles (original and new), but the rock and my body tag team them pretty good, and basically they have no longevity (good traction though!). So, now that the leather has become noticably softer (and are again in need of another re-sole job after two months of lava traversing this summer), I'm going to updgrade and get a pair or Moraine ATs.

Also, I've not really had any problems to speak of with Montrail's customer service, or other shoes (love the Vitesse trail-hiker)!
