The boots have been great--my feet never get wet or uncomfortable. Using liners and wool socks, I have never had any blisters or hotspots. They have been used for weekend backpack trips with the family for the last two years, meaning lower mileage, but a heavy pack. (6-year-olds don't carry much...) After the two-week break in period, they fit like a deerskin glove.

I highly recommend these boots, especially if you hike in wet conditions, such as the Northeast where I live. (The only thing that should be improved is a better scuff guard on the toe. I have to pay particular attention to this area when cleaning and protecting the boots. If this area was better, the boots would get a "5".)
