Best hiking boots I've ever owned
Super pleased with these boots. I bought a size 8, the same size I am in sneakers. I typically wear a 7.5 in other leather non-hiking shoes. They're a little clunky looking around the ankle IMO, but look better than most other hiking boots. They didn't need a lot of breaking in -- I wore them once on a short 2-mile hike in PA and then didn't wear them again until I went on a much longer hiking trip across the Southwest in autumn. Wore them for five days straight in dust, on rock, in soil, in small creeks across the Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, and Zion, including a few strenuous trails, and they performed amazingly with good traction the whole time. They felt lightweight and flexible. No blisters, no discomfort. I would buy them again tomorrow if anything happened.
