I didn't properly break in these boots before the first hike. I tried them on and wore them for one day to assure they fit, but that's not a good 'break-in'. I went on a long 'moderate to difficult' hike today, 6 miles round-trip, and the boots performed flawlessly. Everything on my body hurts EXCEPT my feet. My kids were jealous about how the water just ran off during and after the seven stream crossings. Yes, if I laced them up TOO tight they had some pressure points, but that was alleviated by loosening them a bit. I sized up a half size which I recommend. The toe box has plenty of room without it, but extra room certainly led to a comfortable fit.

Extremely uncomfortable. Do not keep your feet dry or warm. Will not be purchasing again.

These were a Christmas gift, excellent comfort, support, and quality. Expecting lots of comfortable outings.

The best hiking / work boot I've found for being lightweight AND super durable! I use them daily on a farm and I almost made it 3 years on a single pair!
