These boots are incredible. I'm a minimalist, so my pack only weighs like 19 pounds for a trip, and these boots are very lightweight.

Also, do NOT be deceived thinking that these won't hold up to long hikes with a pack.

I've taken them on countless 10 mile hikes with a pack, and several small ones as well.

I ALSO took them on a trip where I hiked 18 miles in one day, and crossed 20 streams where they had to get wet, all with a pack. They held up incredibly. These might be lightweight, but they can handle anything!

I took them on a five day trip in the rockies, postholing through 3 feet of snow. They did fine

I took them on old rag 4 times, wedging them inbetween cracks in the rock. They're in perfect shape still!

Cons:
Not waterproof, of course, this isn't the Goretex one, so they aren't designed to be, but they get wet fast. They also dry out fast though!
