These boots are fantastic! They fit well right from the start, and, for a light hiker like myself (5-8 mile day hikes) in the mountains, they perform beautifully through gravel, mud, snow, etc. Plus, they look great just kicking around town and can be worn in a casual work environment. I\'ve owned Montrail shoes before and would definitely purchase more from this brand in the future. Plus, Zappos\' customer service is phenomenal. I buy all my shoes through them and have never been disappointed.

This would be the third pair of Montrail GTX Torre I have owned and by far the best pair of boots I have ever owned. I have worn my last pair for 3 years 24/7! I actually have a hole in the right boot about the size of a half dollar. Guess what? When I submerge it in water, it's still water proof, no wet feet! How much better can you get? It will be a sad day when they are discontinued.

I have wide, square feet with Morton's foot (second toe longer than big toe). I bought these when I figured out that my Asolo GTX boots were never going to work out because of the curved last, which made my outer toes into burger on long hikes, despite the boot being the right length overall. The Montrails are on a straight last, and fit much better. I have about 300 miles of hiking on these now carrying light to moderate loads (about 25 lbs), and am happy with them. They broke in easily with no heel blisters, and though they feel slightly soft when walking on side-slopes, I have had no ankle twisting injuries with them and I have to conclude that they are stable. Traction is excellent. I have had these on rough terrain most of the time, including quite a bit of sharp granitic rock, and they combine traction with good sole durability. Waterproofing is fair. A few puddles or a quick stream crossing is no problem, but in sustained heavy rain and puddles, they get soaked. I suppose anything would. Overall, the best boot I have found after several tries with other brands. I will buy another pair if they are available when these wear out.

My girlfriend has had a pair of these boots for several years and has used them to backpack through Europe and climb Machu Picchu, so when I was in need of some new hiking boots I thought I'd give them a try. The boots have a great classic look about them (I hate all of those space agey-looking hiking boots out there) and the fit is comfortable and feels true to size. I used them on a camping trip before I had a chance to break them in and encountered no problems with blisters. I've since worn them a good amount to break them in and they are very comfortable in an urban environment, though traction can be a little iffy on some slick surfaces. (I will be interested to see how they fare on a variety of terrain on an upcoming hiking trip in a few weeks. Based on my girlfriend's experience with the boots, I expect them to perform very well indeed.) So far, though, my own experience with the boots is admittedly limited, I would recommend the Montrail GTX Classics without reservation to anyone looking for a good lightweight hiking boot that is sturdily made from quality materials. After all, it was a similar recommendation that made me buy them in the first place. I can't wait to put some trail miles on these very handsome boots. I'm always a bit nervous ordering shoes online, but Zappos free shipping and easy return policy alleviated my fears: I simply ordered two sizes of the totally fantastic Montrail Torre GTX Classic and returned the size that didn't fit. My credit card was reimbursed in about a week. Bravo Montrail! Bravo Zappos!

This boot is functional and comfortable (in a solid sort of way). I wear them at least 5 days per week. It is true to size (at least my size). Looks? Let's just say form follows function. Not a great looker, but I was buying function, not fashion.

As the title suggests, I am very satisfied with my purchase of the Montrail Torre GTX Classic. Water tight, very comfortable, the support is great, and the look is, well, classic. I'm a 200lb+ male that works in a hostile environment overseas and these kicks have performed great!

These boots dry quick, unlike the cheap socks I brought with them, lol. Eighteen miles the first day and not a single blister, even though I neglected to break them in. Great traction, except on mossy rocks in the middle of streams, which I hiked on for 3 days straight. Only twisted my ankle 3 times in 30 days, but more due to my fatigue. Light on your feet too for long strenuous hikes when your pack is burdensomely heavy and you don’t want your feet to be so also!

Great Boot -
I live up in Northern Maine. We had 193 inches of snow last year. These boots are the best around. They lasted through everything I could throw at them. The plowing, shoveling, snowblowing and snowshoeing were no problem for this boot! Kept my feet warm and dry. They are ready for another winter.

Still the best - good width fit -
I don't hike, but use this shoe for my general walking around town, dog park etc. VERY comfortable. I have slightly narrow feet and this boot is fine. I can wear other boots, but some (not all) of them fit a bit a wide… but not so wide as not to wear them. So, if you have wide feet, the boot might (?) be tight.

Good shoe for wide feet.
It is difficult to find hiking boots for my wide feet. These shoes are comfortable and are holding up well. I have only logged about 30 trail miles on 4 day hikes, but the shoes are already broken in and feel good on my feet. The only drawback is that I would like better arch support.

Very comfortable -
Tried numerous leather waterproof boots medium-to-light. Montrail Torre GTX Classic was by far the most comfortable, has a great feel to it immediately. Now, after a month of breaking it in, I would highly recommend it. My fit was measured at the hiking store as very narrow, but I bought a medium width, so maybe the boot is narrower?

Very supportive shoe. comfortable. Excellent box width. Needed thicker insole due to too much top to bottom room in the forefoot area.

This is the third pair of Montrail GTX that I have owned in the last seven years. I love these boots. They have great ankle and heel support. They are waterproof, and very warm. I can't say enough good things about them.

Comfortable hiker -
For my foot, this hiker is perfect. I have been wearing them to walk my dogs for the past couple of weeks to break them in, but I do not know if they even would need it. I have had no hot spots, but to be honest I haven't hiked more than a couple of miles at one time in them yet.

A hefty boot -
This is a very well-made boot, heavier and stiffer than those I've used in recent years. It is a great boot for light mountaineering and off-trail backpacking, but overkill for most on-trail use. It is about as comfortable as such a stiff boot can be - fair to good.

Construction and fit -
The boot is available in a Wide size. The wide in my normal shoe size works fine but is a little snug around the ball of the foot but not too bad. The wide size is probably a size E due I would guess due to the formed construction on the toe and rand of the boot. I doubt the boot will relax much around the ball of my foot for this reason. However this is one of the reasons this boot is such a good boot. Well constructed and trail ready. Very high quality including the polished cast shoe lace hardware. I see my shoe laces lasting twice as long due to the slick construction of the lacing hardware. The third lace down from the top of the boot has a low profile polished lace hook. This hook in lew of other type of lace hardware makes it much easier to get my big foot in and out of the boot as the top three lace hooks allow for the top of the boot to be wide open when taking the boot on or off in no time. The added bonus is the trail proven true hard and wide lugged Vibram soul. A very hard to beat combination. The Arch support and padding within the boot are excellent. I wear this boot summer and winter with a heavy class 3 packing sock. The only thing I do different in the summer is to spray my feet with anti-perspirant prior to putting on my sock. By the way the fit I described on the boot is with a wide foot and a class 3 heavy backpacking synthetic sock. This boot is an excellent boot and if these things ever wear out I will be purchasing another pair. This boot is trail worthy and for those who travel the back country without trails this is also the boot for you. Tony.

Very nice after customization -
I have a narrow heel with an otherwise somewhat wide foot. In order to avoid heel slippage, this boot required stretching on both sides of the toe area. Boots have held up well and shrugged off sharp rocks and extensive mud. Buy again? I might try to find a roomier toe area, but over the years I've never found that without heel slipping.

Suggestion on picking size -
The Montrail Torre GTX Classics are extremely well made, very suitable to use as work boots, which I do. I work on irregular terrain lifting heavy objects. To avoid injury, ankle support is crucial and the Torres have it--plus great traction.
Can't say enough for Zappos excellent service.
Be careful about selecting size. I have short, wide feet, and normally chose size 7 1/2--a bit snug before break-in; but necessary to end up with the tight ankle support as mentioned. The Torres claim to have a wide size, which I ordered and received. It isn't really wide. And, the very well built toe doesn't stretch much. So my toes are a bit squeezed. Little by little the Torres are gradually conforming with wear; but it will take a long time.
Bottom line, they are the best I've had for the job by far compared to Timberland and Dunham’s. Go for the Torres; but think big if you're borderline. I probably should have ordered size 8. Could have easily exchanged with Zappos great return policy; but chose to endure a longer break-in for the better ankle support.
Great shoes!

My favorite hiking boots -
I like these boots so much that I bought a second pair to put on the shelf just in case they stop making them. Fit is perfect for my average width/narrow heel foot. Gore-Tex makes them waterproof for a 5 day hike in the rain. I added Superfeet insoles for more arch support.

OH MY!!!
These are without a doubt the best hiking boot I've ever worn. I'm a big heavy guy and rarely find a good quality vibram and gortex boot in my width. These fit the bill 110%. Right out of the box, the fit was great. After breaking in, they are still one of the most comfortable pieces of footwear I own. Took them on a heavy duty backpacking trip and they were flawless.

Second pair.
This is my second pair of the GTX. First pair outlasted any other boot I’ve owned. 15 + pairs in the $100 - $180 range.

Bought both the Torre and the Traverse GTX, the Torre was much more comfortable, the synthetic was stiffer and would definitely take some breaking in. Kept the Torre.

Torre GTX Wide -
I'm sure this is a fine boot, just not wide enough for my super-wide forefoot. I wear a New Balance men's sz7 4E walking/running shoe, 2E or "wide" sizes just aren’t wide enough for me. I had read a review elsewhere highly recommending the Torre GTX size WIDE for extra wide feet that are not extra wide in the heel, thought I would give it a try... I do a lot of off-trail backpacking over rough terrain; wish I could find a boot that didn't kill my feet! This boot looks and feels well-made and sturdy--Montrail is an actual hiking boot brand as opposed to city-wear so-called "hiking boots," and this wide size probably is wider than average, but is not extra-wide. (Real hiking boot=NOT cushy/comfy!--more like firm/rigid, with a good stiff sole).

Not for me -
I bought these boots a year ago and wore them around the house to break them in, after getting professionally fitted. They felt great in the store and around the house, but once on the trail they were oh so painful. I added superfeet insoles and wore a liner sock with a smartwool midweight sock. The problem I had with these boots was heel rub. My heel is very narrow and these boots just didn't work out for me, but my foot is different than yours so they may work. Another problem I had was how they held up. I took them on a backpacking trip and hiked 12 miles each day for two days and the rubber toe cap started to come off and the leather got a big gash on one side. I think these boots are more of a light hiker with the weight of a heavy backpacking boot. Not my favorite but maybe they will work for you.

Most comfortable boot I've ever owned. Needed them for a 10 day hiking trip in the Tetons. Highly recommend them to anyone, especially someone who doesn't wear boots on a regular basis.

 |  | I just called Zappos to ask questions about shoe width (I need a wider size) and a rep helped me to find some boots that come in wide sizes, of which I ordered two pair. She was very helpful and friendly, and also upgraded me to VIP status. I'm THRILLED that my order will come tomorrow! And my return will be sped up as well. Thanks to the rep for doing a great job! She deserves a raise! Or at least a token of appreciation of some sort...take her out to lunch? Sincerely, Beth T. |  | ~ Beth T., October 12 2009
