just got them today and had to try em right out of the box on a 3 mile desert hike with easy to moderate uphills and downhills comprised of stretches of loose dirt, gravel, scree loose rock packed dirt and i don't know how they grip so well on the loose stuff.  i got them for summer use as my favorite merrell sawtooths are a little warm.  i was concerned about ankle support but no problems and i hauled my usual 40 lbs 3 day pack.
wore them to my kids high school baseball game and got compliments from parents and kids and asked what brand they were and how to get them.  the younger teens recognized them from parcour/freerunners who use them a lot.
i will buy a second pair maybe in canvas this time
ps i wear a size 9.5 i got the size 10 and they have enough room for superfeet insoles and thick socks
and they are a light olive drab but turned to desert tan after the first hike (he he)
best price ive found is 84.95 with free shipping
cheers!
