Absolutely outstanding boot. I tried on 12 pairs of boots the day I got this pair, and I knew immediately as soon as I slipped it on my foot that it was the boot for me. Recently put in about 25 miles of backcountry trail with these boots on, and they held up like champs. My feet stayed dry during a downpour and the subsequent puddles, and I had absolutely no blisters or hotspots. Break in time for these boots is almost nonexistent. My only complaint about these boots is that they only have a single hook lace at the very top of the boot, and I really prefer having two or three.

Overall, a reasonably priced, lightweight pair of boots that handles extremely well on rougher trails, feeling like tennis shoes the whole time.
