Customers overwhelmingly praise these hiking shoes for exceptional comfort, durability, and all-weather performance. Most describe them as immediately comfortable and true to size, with many reporting years of wear without foot pain, even during extended daily walks or hiking. Reviewers consistently highlight outstanding traction on ice, snow, and rocky terrain, with several noting multiple pairs lasting six years or longer. The shoes are frequently described as well-made and offering excellent value. A few customers mention shoelaces wearing out quickly or initial stiffness, and some note they are not fully waterproof, though these concerns remain minor compared to widespread satisfaction.
I bought a similar pair 10 years ago and they finally gave up the ghost. I decided to go with a good thing again.
Trouble is they look so good I hate to get them dirty....LOL

Great Shoe Bad Laces
Fit - Width: True to size
I bought this item a month ago and the laces are completely awful. Even double knotted they become untied. They are fraying completely as well. Other than that great arch support.

Not waterproof!!!
Fit - Width: True to size
These boots are ok but definitely NOT waterproof. You can't even walk across dewy grass without your socks getting soaked.

First time owning these and I am very impressed
Fit - Width: True to size
Very comfortable hiking shoe. A little on the warm side but I find this to be the case with any waterproof shoe or boot. As of now I feel I would certainly buy these again.
