Absolutely the greatest shoes I've ever owned. I will wear these things until they fall apart and after that I'll have them bronzed and keep them on a shelf. Excellent support, fits comfortably even with orthopedic inserts, easy to hike in, great for long walks, and overall sweet kicks.I would and will suggest these shoes to everyone I know. 5 stars, A+, two thumbs up, best of the best, the shoes to end all shoes, etc. Awesome!

Happy with Hardrock 08 - Perfect shoe for the coastal trails. I had ordered a brand before these that didn't fit well and didn't suit me..these are great and Zappos handled the exchange very efficiently and managed to get the Montrail to me before I left on vacation. Very happy with the shoe and the service!

Everything I wanted - First let me say Zappos is the best. Ordered this shoe in the early afternoon and it arrived the next morning. I have plantar fasciitis and need a good arch support and these shoes have it. I also like the way my heel really feels secure. I put the shoe on and have worn it day after day with no problems at all. It's probably the best shoe I've worn for my foot problems. I don't even need my orthotics. A truly great supportive shoe!!!

Perfect Trail/Light Backpacking Shoe - I bought these shoes for backpacking in the Sierras. I have a slightly wide foot and these were a perfect fit. I ordered these in my true size and a 1/2 larger and ended up going with the 1/2 larger since I'm using these for backpacking and wanted to avoid the inevitable "toe-bang" often experienced during descents. The slightly longer shoe was the best choice especially since, after hiking all day with a pack, your feet swell. My toes had plenty of room to wiggle but my heel and arch remained supported and "locked-in". I made only a few adjustments at the start of my hike (adding a lace-lock knot to secure the fore-foot area laces looser than the ankle area laces) then felt like I was walking on air the rest of the day. The full TPU plate in the sole and raised heel gives this shoe a springy forward thrust which is great when you feel you can't go on. :) My feet never became fatigued (never you mind my legs) and I nearly forgot to remove them upon arrival in camp. This shoe had excellent traction in diverse trail conditions: rocky, sandy, mossy, muddy, etc. My husband now wants a pair after I raved about how great these were ALL DAY, everyday! I highly recommend this shoe for people with regular to wide width feet. I don't know if these will work for narrow feet. This shoe is very light, yet stable, and perfect for light backpacking. I would not suggest this for super heavy pack weights (greater than 30lbs). Happy travels! :)

High arch relief at last! After 2 years of heel pain, I finally figured out the pain was due to lack of arch support. Orthotics were even worse. I bought 3 pairs of Montrail Hardrocks: one for trail running, one for daily wear and one for "slippers." The reason is because to relieve heel pain, the arch must support some weight 100% of the time, not JUST when running. I use cush runners in training.

Perfect boot! Love wearing them! They're comfortable, warm and stylish. I even bought them in brown and black! Very pleased with purchase.

Runs big! I usually wear a 7 in a closed toe shoe, but I should have gotten the 6.5 or a 6. Very beautiful boot and good construction.

Great boots. Love the side zip; easy on and off. They were a little stiff across the top of my big toes and I got some soreness there. With time, that stiffness has gone away. These boots look great with skirts. I'll get a lot of wear out of them this winter. I'll just wear thermals and smart wool knee socks. Bliss.
