I bought these boots on Wednesday night after my old hiking boots of several years gave up the ghost.  These were very very comfy from the beginning.

We left out on Thursday about mid-day and headed to Cumberland Gap National Park, where we packed 3.5 miles, 2 miles of which had a 2000 foot elevation gain, to get to our campsite.  I had only worn the boots for an hour the night before while packing our packs.  The very next day we hiked 9 miles round trip from our campsite and then on day 3 we hiked the 3.5 miles back down the mountain.  In all of the 16 miles my very VERY flat 37 year old feet NEVER hurt!!!  I did end of with one small blister on the back of my left heel, but I attribute that to not wearing my sock liners on the long hike and to not getting all the sand off my feet before putting my boots back on after visiting Sand Cave.

I HIGHLY recommend these boots to any woman wanting a great boot at a great price.  They fit true to size, I wear a 7 to 7.5 in almost all shoes and in these the 7 was perfect.

My hubby was definitely impressed that I could hike that far in a brand new pair of boots.  They feel as if they have been broken in from the beginning.

I agree with the other review that the color on the sage/tan pair is a little off.  I did not see the "shark" color, in person so I am not sure about it, but he pair that is sage/brown is really sage/brown and not a "blue" as the picture looks.  :)
