4 out of 5 stars nice boot.   November 18, 2008
This is a nice pair of boots, they are comfortable to wear and stays with your feet closely when you walk on rough surfaces. They are pretty light too, making your lower legs less exhausted after you hike for hours.

The only drawback I can think of is the temperature in the shoe gets a bit too warm in daily use. I felt my feet overheaded somehow which is not a very happy experience.



5 out of 5 stars A Great Hiker!   November 16, 2008
I purchased this hiker on sale at a steal of a price.It is a perfect fit,very comfortable, and very well made.It performs well for me in the mountains where I hike off trail.The waterproofing seems to perfom well, although I always spray some additional on that contains a stain inhibitor.I would definitely buy this boot again.


5 out of 5 stars Very good boots!   November 2, 2008
I've just come back from a mountain hike and the boots performed very well. Though they're not designed for very cold conditions, they were warm enough to walk through the snow and they didn't get wet inside either. The soil is fair enough, but don't expect it to get stick in wet rock nor ice ;-)

An exceptional purchase for the price I paid!



4 out of 5 stars Good shoe   November 2, 2008
I found the boot to be a comfortable fit with decent support. Its not waterproof, but does offer some protection. It seems well made. I use the boot mostly for hiking and walking my dog in woods/fields, and haven't had any problems with it.

I would say get this boot for light hiking. If you are going through a lot of mud or creaks or dense brush then this isn't the shoe for you.



4 out of 5 stars Good, comfortable waterproof boots   October 30, 2008
I've taken these on a few short walks, and I have been happy with the comfort from the start. They fit me well -- I'd estimate that the sizing is fairly accurate, not too large or small. They are fairly warm so I'm not sure about their use for mid-summer hiking, but I've been happy with the temperatures turning lower lately. I was a little concerned with the appearance (I bought the British Tan which were on sale), but they look better in person than they do online. They are very light, especially compared to my previous all-leather hikers. Traction is excellent.

The only criticism I have is the lacing. The tongue is somewhat bulky and gets in the way of lacing the two D-ring (or whatever you call them) eyelets at the top. It's not a considerable hassle, however, and perhaps it's a result of the generous padding inside the boot. Since you spend more time walking than lacing, that's probably a good tradeoff!
