Just did a five mile hike in these and very comfy. I had only walked around in them off and on for a few weeks,they seem to break in very easily.

I got mine for $129 with free shipping and I'm happy But I wouldn't want to pay retail. I wouldn't want to rely on these if hauling a heavy pack on rough terrain, but they'd do in a pinch. They make great rugged summer day hikers/work-wear/Granola fashion boots for the Whole Foods parking lot. They are light, cool, grippy, and I feel nimble and confident on steep trails.

I have not treated the leather or the seams, but water comes in if even a little is splashed on the top. I can feel the coolness right away.

I normally wear a 13 but I had to get these in 14 to accommodate my rather large big toes. My GF says I have Fred Flintstone feet. YMMV
