Fast, light and very comfortable. They feel like rugged running shoes and are by far the fastest shoes I've owned for light to moderate weight backpacking. When just trekking with water pack, I glide effortlessly and can definitely run in them as well. My favorite hikers to date. Love them!

Worth it. I’m picky and love these.True to size.Roomy toe box.Dry, warm and nicely cushioned from first step.Sure footed with good ankle support.Well made. Laces stay tied without having to double. Lacing clips actually work.

These are the most comfortable boots I’ve had on. They are warm and light at the same time. Super impressed with their presentation and comfort. After looking into the company and what they do for the environment they have me sold as a repeat customer! Please don’t change a thing!!

I bought these for wear in the Arizona heat this summer when I want more protection than just tennis shoes - for lightweight, general purpose wear around the yard & town, short desert hikes, exploring the desert in my side-by-side, etc. So far I am extremely happy with these. They are very comfortable and so lightweight that they literally feel like you have nothing on your feet! I took these out today for a short desert walk at 80F and it looks like they will breathe better & be cooler than my various other mid-height hikers (including by far my Merrel Moab 2 Vents). I usually wear a size 10.5 or 11 hiker, so I bought these in a 11 and they fit just right. The toe box size feels good to me too, and I didn't experience the tightness there that others have mentioned. I took a gamble buying these with somewhat limited reviews online, but I think I have found my go-to mid-high hikers for use this summer - very pleased!

The boot is lightweight and good for Summer around town. Fit was snug but comfortable, buy your regular size.

I had them for less than a week. Wore them two days in a row on rough terrain and the toe started to separate. I would have given them one star because of this but they were really comfortable.
