I got these shoes because of their good reviews all over the internet--great as a day hiking shoe that can also be taken on longer backpacking trips.  I am extremely satisfied with its performance so far!  These are my first real hiking boots so I have nothing to really compare them too besides some cheaper hiking shoes, but hopefully this review helps.

I went up with a small group to City of Rocks, ID, this last weekend and we experienced every kind of weather--snow, wind, sun, rain, mud... These shoes did great on everything, even while we were doing some pretty intense scrambling on some of the approaches.  They have good support and required no break-in time.  My feet got chilly standing on the cold granite (it was right around freezing the whole time) so these boots probably aren't good for winter hiking, but otherwise they were fantastic!

I usually wear a 9.5 to 10 but I got a half size bigger just because I have wide feet and I wear thick wool socks when hiking.  When I was wearing regular cotton socks the bottom padding shifted around a little, but when I had them out on the trail with wool socks and laced up tight they were perfect!!  The color is also really nice :)

I would highly recommend these to anyone else--I got them for a great price and they are absolutely fantastic!
