Montrail Torre GTX Hiking Boot - Men's

Good fit, sized correctly, Montrail tough

I have had these boots for over a year and they are still my favorite boots. I don't have too wide of a foot, but I use the wide size and they fit perfect. Great for hiking or casual use. I have worn these on 4-6 day backpacking trips and never have had any blisters. I also use these for walking around town when it is snowing; they seem to keep my feet warm, even with only a normal thin pair of socks. The Gore-Tex lining is a definite plus!

Just bought a pair of these boots and had to send them right back because I could not get my foot into them. Realized later that there is a wide version. Tried those on and very pleased.

I tried the earlier version of the Torre GTX and it just did not fit at all. Tried the new '08 version and it fits me great! (A very different fit than the old version; now much roomier in the arch and forefoot.) I've taken these boots out a few times in the Catskills and Adirondacks, through mud, swamps, bogs, over rocks, through blowdowns and ankle-deep stream crossings. No wet socks or blisters yet. It's a pretty darned good boot. Very good ankle support. I wear them with OR Crocodile gaiters and they're very watertight. They are a bit heavy and their soles are a bit soft, though. I like a stiffer sole to assist in scrambling over boulders, steep ledges, etc. The boots seem to be holding up pretty well, but only time will tell. I did notice a superficial tear in the synthetic rand near my left pinkie toe. Doesn't seem to be leaking moisture. I don't expect these boots to last as long as my Italian Norwegian-welted, all-leather boots -- but I do expect them to be a lot more water-resistant. At any rate, so far I like 'em!

I've had these boots for over a year, and I've punished them to say the least. I've taken them on the FLT in New York, as well as in the Adirondack High Peaks. Overall, these boots perform best in light-duty hiking, and should be paired up with heavyily cushioned socks to aid in comfort. As for waterproofness...well let's just say they hold up under short-term wet conditions, but in an all-day downpour, you'll have to change socks. They offer great support for rocky trails and summits, but comfort can become an issue if your socks aren't up to snuff. I would suggest SmartWool Trekking and Mountaineering socks for these (or any) boots. As far as backpacking goes...look elsewhere. If you're on a weekend excursion they might hold up, but for extended trips with a full pack I would look elsewhere. You'll need much more comfort within the boot than the sock can account for, and better shock absorbtion will be necessary for carrying heavy loads.

Worn these boots for the first time right out of the box on a Mount Washington backpacking trip up Tuckerman's Ravine and over to the huts. They were very comfortable, no blisters, and kept my feet dry. As for longevity we shall see. I would say buy them if you can get them for less than asking price.

Got these on clearance way cheap. Fit great right out of the box. I have low volume feet and they are very comfortable. Felt like they were already broken in. Can't be beat for what I paid.

i am on my second pair. I roof, hike and backpack with these. Im about to get a third pair. Each pair last no longer than 1 year, but i really wear on boots hard. great boot

This is a great boot right out of the box. It fit like a glove. I look forward to my trip in May. I have worn Vasque for many years and decided to look into a new boot. This boot fit the bill. GREAT BOOT.

I got these boots to use for a month long backpacking trip in the N. Talkeetnas of Alaska. They held up great while I was training here in Georgia. But after only a couple of weeks the boots were starting to separate at the synthetic part and the leather part. It got so bad that dirt and water was filling the sides everyday. They wore great and never hurt my feet I just wish they were more durable. Montrail did send me a new pair free of charge however.

Warm,comfortable,totally water proof,best shoes ever. Just love it, GTX,hoho~

I think that the Torre is just an all around good piece of backpacking equipment. I use it whenever I can on day hikes, weekend excursions, or monthlong trips. It has lasted me a year without any signs of wear besides the laces which I would immediately replace to save problems on the trail. The pros of this boot are its unbeatable water resistance and stability. However I have found this boot slightly heavier and less breathable than other less expensive boots I've tried. I would highly suggest the Torre as an all purpose boot for most backpackers even though it is heavy and unbreathable.
