My experience with Garmont boots has been that they are very comfortable but not at all durable.

These Flash IIIs were the fourth pair of Garmont boots that fell apart on my feet after just a few months of wear.  The upper leather tends to come away from the outsole along the bend lines and the treads come apart.  I have made some notes on Customer Images.

While I understand that I might wear these boots harder than most, for boots to fall apart after three months of wear is not acceptable.  When I tried contacting Garmont customer support after one of these incidents, I got very poor customer service.  I was essentially called a liar by a VP who used bad statistics (I am a statistician) to not own up for his company's lack of quality.

I have noticed that these boots tend to last longer in deserts than in the tropics.

I only continued to wear these boots because they were extremely comfortable but for the 3rd and 4th pair, I essentially considered them disposable boots.

If you intend to wear these boots for only a few months or in dry, arid climates, then they are fine.  Otherwise, they are a waste of money.
