I have logged over 1,200 miles in my current pair of Sugarpines in all sorts of weather, from snowy, bitter cold to hot, humid and rainy. I have worn them on all sorts of terrain, from "urban trails" to rock scrambles in the mountains. Whether for brisk walks or even a bit of trail running, I absolutely love these hiking boots. They have been comfortable and reliable and I will be very sad when they finally wear out.  They have great ankle support, good traction even in the mud (I add YaxTrax on icy winter days) and when paired with wool socks, have great thermo-regulation. I hike in them every day and my feet never hurt.  If only I could wear them all day in the office!! :)
