Customers overwhelmingly praise these hiking shoes for exceptional comfort, reliable fit, and long-term durability. Most find them true to size with no break-in period, supportive for extended hikes, and valued for waterproofing and stable soles. Wide-width options are particularly appreciated by those with wider feet. Many report 7-10 years of use before replacement, with Vibram soles and reinforced toe boxes handling rough terrain and wet conditions reliably. A few note slick laces requiring frequent retying and occasional arch support concerns, but these minor issues are far outweighed by positive feedback from repeat buyers.
Have not recieved them so i cant rate them. We have not recievveda bill for the other two pair we bought whe we applied for the new credit card. Recieved the new card last week a

Perfect fit
Fit - Width: True to size
I walk on a gravel road and I can't feel the rough terrain on the bottom of my feet, and they support my high arches.
They fit perfect.

Fit - Width: Too narrow
These boots are stiff and too narrow in the toe box. I should have ordered a wider width. Unfortunately, I wore them so I can’t return them.

Fit - Width: True to size
I bought these shoes a month ago and just love their fit but the shoelaces tend to untie on their own so you need to know them very tightly .

No No No DO NOT BUY

After the break-in time, they're great

They are extremely stiff but once they get going, they are awesome. Wore them for a 2 mile hike after wearing them around the house. Like the color and fit. Traction is pretty good

Hiking shoes
Fit - Width: True to size
I’ve hiked 3 or 4 Ricky, muddy, trails rated moderate to difficult after gently breaking in my new shoes and found them to hold up well to any terrain. My feet are difficult to fit

Comfortable and good traction, but too warm
Fit - Width: True to size
I bought these a few months ago for a hiking trip, broke them in with several walks, and while they are comfortable, they feel bulky on my feet and are very warm. Traction is good.

Great Quality But Too Heavy For Me
Fit - Width: True to size
This shoe is a great quality, but it was simply too heavy for me due to my large shoe size and orthotics. Most other buyers will have a smaller shoe size and will be satisfied with
