CAUTION: NOT Waterproof. Sole Separation in under 100 miles.
NOT waterproof. I hiked about 40 miles around the Teton Crest Trail when it was raining on and off, and this boot gets flooded within 2-3 hours. I had wet feet and socks all 5 days on the trail and it was miserable. To top it all off, the outer sole has separated from the rest of the boot after less than 100 miles of wear. (The right boot leaks despite not having any obvious holes/separation.)
The foot support is OK. I have flat arches so I traded the insole for a superfeet insole. I still get hot spots on the balls of my feet and heel, but YMMV. I definitely get blisters on the insides of my toes while wearing these shoes, but that's probably because of the aforementioned leaks.
For the price, I definitely would've expected a more durable and higher performing shoe. This shoe is fine for dry conditions, but when you're on the trail and need robust gear for all sorts of conditions, this boot falls far short.
