These shoes are awesome. They arrived last week; I pulled them out of the box, laced them up, and went on a 5 mile hike. No blisters, no nothing; just complete comfort. Usually I have to break in every shoe I purchase; but not with this one. I did buy a half size larger to allow room for thick
socks. Unlike a lot of other
hiking boots, they are extremely lightweight; don't feel like you have two bricks attached to your legs. The fact that they are
GORE-TEX waterproof just makes them even more appealing. They look really nice on the foot, as well. Highly recommend.
