Montrail Helium GTX Hiking Boot - Men's

Montrail Helium GTX Hiking Boot - Men's

Rating for this product: 3 February 9, 2010

Just got these in today as replacements for some Kaylands I unfortunately had to return. So far they seem to be a very comfortable and stable boot. Not quite as supportive as the Kaylands were in the ankle though. My only gripes so far is with the tongue. The padding is more than sufficient, but like another poster said, the tongue could be both wider and taller. Additionally, the edge of the tongue on the right boot is grinding into my ankle bone. Not quite certain if it's the tongue, or a combination of the tongue and eyelets putting pressure on that area; either way it is annoying and would definitely be unwelcome on long hikes. Hopefully this issue resolves itself through break-in over the next 2 weeks as I have a 50 mile hike coming up and really don't want to have to go through the process of finding another pair of boots. To Backcountry's credit, they were very expeditious in replacing my Kaylands with these.

Kayland Contact Boot - Men's

Kayland Contact Boot - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 February 9, 2010

Bought a set of these for Christmas and had to send them back a month later. These boots were fabulous and I definitely support all the positive things mentioned about them. I had to return them due to the padded collar seperating from the eVent liner while putting them on one morning. Unfortunately my size would not be back in stock for over a month, so I had to settle for some Montrail Heliums..which I have on right now and while they are a good boot, they do not compare to the Kaylands at all. Hopefully I'll have a chance to buy another set of the Kaylands in the future.
