Both my wife and I have these boots. My wife for 3 years, mine 1.5 years. I replaced a pair of Danner goretex. This is an excellent boot. Very comfortable. I used them hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park this summer and they performed extremely well.

A little warm in the summer. Nice and warm in winter. If you hike in the Northeast or Northwest you need Goretex. The retails stores seem to be down on Goretex and will tell you it isn't necessary. Spend a day on the trail with cold wet feet and you will never hike again without Goretex boots.
