This review is for the high top (GCS model). My first impression -- very nice! Lightweight, waterproof, comfortable. I haven't put it through a grueling backpacking trip, but believe it will hold up just fine. The weight factor speaks for itself -- impressive. I like the looks, unusual. Never thought I'd purchase a non-leather boot. Nice padding on the high top doesn't feel restrictive and does feel secure. I had to go to a size 13 (normal size is a 12) to fit properly, but no problem. Recommended.
