These hiking boots were comfortable right out of the box.  We are planning a week of hiking in Glacier backcountry this summer, and wanted to get our boots broken in early so I ordered them a couple of months ago.  Well there was no need for that.  I have put many trail miles on these boots already.  They worked perfectly with my snowshoes, as well, and my feet stay warm and most importantly DRY.  I've also gotten lots of compliments on the looks of the boots.  I have the wine color and they are really vibrant and beautiful.  Very happy customer.

***After the trip to Glacier:  These boots stood up to a week of hard mountain hiking and they are ready for more.  I might get another pair in a different color. Love 'em.
