I received my boots yesterday. My order was processed and delivered promptly. I hiked a three mile rocky hill route today around the Lake Calavera Preserve in Carlsbad, CA, including an assent to Cerro de la Calavera. I was happy with the fit, feel and appearance of the boots. The boots are lightweight; however, feel secure and of good quality. I was a bit apprehensive of other reviews citing the failure of the boot's sole. I know these boots are China made and i don't expect them to hold up like a Danner boot. If I get 6-12 months of regular hiking use out of them I'll be happy. I think the boots are worth the price advertised.
