I took a 10 2/3 size pair of these with me on a 75 mile Philmont trek. Hiked thru streams to where the water almost went over the top, didn't even get wet. Hiked in hail, mud, rocks, rain, a bit of snow, this boot can handle it.

I didn't slip once with these boots on. Incredible grip. I only got like 1 blister on each foot near the heel, because I didn't break them in long enough, but these boots are simply amazing, Scarpa build quality was excellent too. I rammed my toes into may rocks but I didn't even feel it. Good toe protection.
