I used these boots on a 2 day approach to Gannet Peak, WY. While not the trail shoes that I typically hike in, these boots did surprisingly well on several long days. If I was ever to do Gannet again I would wear running shoes for the hike in and pack these boots for the climb, but if you need the support of a full mountaineering boot I don't think you'll find a much better all-rounder that is lightweight as well.
