So I got these boots in the beginning of the year but I wanted to wait to write the review until I had used them for at least a season. Im happy to report back that I really like them. Theyre lightweight and comfortable to wear and they definitely have just as good a grip as my Solomon trail runners. Ive been hiking up and down mountains and exploring Californian trails in them and so far they don't have any damage to them. I have to say that for the price point they're excellent and Im super happy with my purchase!
