Materials: leather/ cordura
Use: medium duty
Break-in Period: 2 weeks
Price Paid: $159

I've been wearing the Clarions for about a year and have found them very versatile and comfortable. I carry pack loads up to 40 pounds on rough trails and they provide good traction on any surface. Ankle support is great, but there could be more padding around the ankles. If you wear thick socks for cushion it isn't much of a problem anyway. Break in time was minimal, but, as with any boot, they are much more comfortable after the first year than freshly broken in. Waterproofing is excellent with the gore tex booties, and the cordura panels help with breathability. The nubuck scuffs and nicks noticeably especially on rocks, but I have been very happy with them overall. Great value general duty boot.
