I've put an estimated 250 miles into these boots, about 200 of which hiking and less than 50 of that carrying a full pack.

In general this is a pretty good shoe.  They broke-in easily and are pretty comfortable.  I've found them flexible enough to use as a year-round hiker.  They are not so hot as to be unbearably uncomfortable in the summer, and they are thick enough and water-resistant enough to wear in the snow.  You can lace them all the way up for lateral support or skip the last two sets of hooks for greater comfort.  They're ugly, but at least they clean easily.

On the other hand, they're not very durable.  The sole is relatively thick and stiff, but it's also slippery and wore out very quickly.  The soles are almost completely smooth at this point--I would hope to get in at least twice as many miles before this becomes a problem.  I am also getting some sole separation.
