Customers overwhelmingly praise these hiking boots for exceptional comfort straight out of the box with zero break-in period, reliable ankle support, and excellent traction on rugged terrain. Many report purchasing multiple pairs over years, citing durability through harsh conditions like streams and snow. Reviewers consistently highlight stable performance on steep, rocky surfaces and all-day wear without foot fatigue. However, some express disappointment with waterproofing, reporting wet feet in light rain despite product claims. A few note fit inconsistencies—boots feeling too tight in correct sizes—or limited breathability in warm weather. Overall, most customers consider them dependable, comfortable hiking boots worth the investment.
Very comfortable and form fitting from the very first day I wore them. Good support and very durable.

Wish they would have worked
Fit - Width: Too narrow
Disappointed they didn't work for me. Very nice boot. Liked the color combo. Nicely made. Only problem was they weren't really a wide boot.

Exactly what I was looking for

Incredibly comfortable and light. I have a bunion on my right foot, and these didn't cause any chafing or pain. They're supportive, and waterproof- perfect for spring hiking

Great boot for adventure.

Wore to Ireland and can attest they are waterproof and steady for uneven terrain. Also comfortable for cobblestone street walking. Did not take any time to break-in. Very happy wit

Not waterproof
Fit - Width: True to size
These boots are comfortable but they were advertised as water proof and they are not the least bit waterproof. My toes are wet just walking for 2 minutes on damp grass in the backy

I thought this was excellent quality, but a little too bulky for me. I ended up getting a sneaker type shoe.

Requiring more "break in" than I expected. The color states Graphite- I expected more of a grey color than a green color.

Well made, but -
Fit - Width: Slightly wide
These are made very well. I liked the color too. They are bit clunky looking. Unfortunately they didn't fit my foot at all. I ordered a couple Bean styles but all were much too
