I haven't had these very long but I love them. CAUTION! You will look damn sexy wearing these bad boys. Be prepared. They do run a size large as everyone says. I'm a 12 and I got an 11 and they are still a bit big. I haven't worn them out hiking yet because I'm scared to scuff them actually. They are such good looking boots that you just want to wear them every where. Also they are super comfortable and light. This is the most comfortable boot I've worn.
