Kayland Vertigo High Backpacking Boot - Men's

Kayland Vertigo High Backpacking Boot - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 April 10, 2009

Plan and simple:
- Well designed boot. Ergonomic design matches the outer curvature of the foot perfectly.

- Climbing-rubber wrapped toe provides protection on the rocky trails that could otherwise scuff the living crap out of your boots.

- Definitely rigid enough to carry a multi-day pack. On the other hand, I did do the rock scramble at Old Rag Mountain in Virginia, which is no walk in the park, and they were flexible enough to provide maneuverability. On stiffness, I would have to agree with Kayland and give them a 6.5 out of 10.

-The high ankle provided some much needed support.

- I wear a 8.5 w so i got the size 9 (no wide available.) Surprisingly room toe box. The laces extend all the way down to the toe which allows a truly customized fit.

- The Event liner is much more breathable than Gore-tex. I haven't spent an extended amount of time in water so I don't have an accurate assessment of waterproofness, but the few puddles and streams that i crossed didnt give me any trouble.

- Plenty of grip and traction.

- No blister or any foot problems on first hike. My brother has the Asolo tps and he is still getting blister after 3 hikes.

- They could potentially use a new insert pad rather than the stock insert. It was a but rough on the ball of the foot.

- Highly recomended

- Previous boots: Asolo FSN 95 GTX
