Rating: rated 3.5 of 5 stars
Price Paid: $89 on Ebay

Bought these shoes to replace some all leather Vasque Liberty boots.

These shoes are very lightweight and waterproof. The Goretex liners really do their job keeping your feet dry. The firm soles also keep your feet from getting tired on rocky trails.

The only downside is that they don't grip well on wet smooth surfaces like roots or boulders. I imagine that the stiff soles are the culprit.

Overall though, great shoes.
