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 would never buy another pair of any boots from Montrail/One Sport and I tell this story to everyone I know who in contemplating the purchase of an expensive backpacking boot. I have to admit that I chose this particular boot on the recommendation of "Backpacker" magazine. Based on this experience I would never value their gear testing results without some personal verification. For me, this was an expensive and disappointing lesson to learn.

My personal belief is that there are alot of manufacturers in the outdoor gear business that make poor equipment but have great marketing skills. One Sport has been added to that list.
