I'm on my second pair. I have used these for everything from short, fast dayhiking to weeklong backpacking. The best part is the padded ankle that wraps around and keeps your foot in the back of the boot when going down steep terrain. The fit is very comfortable. The traction is decent. The sole seems to last forever. I did put an inch long gash in the upper on sharp rocks. The waterproofing works until you punch through the wet snow for a while.
