A very rugged and sturdy boot. Still in the breaking in process, so I cannot give a detailed review on this product yet; however, the construction and materials seem to be quality. I have replaced the insoles which give better arch support, but one should probably do this anyway, for most boots. I definitely like the shoestring versatility when cinching down the boots. It allows room and snug fit where you need it. All in all a great boot! Great price! Thanks again backcountry.com! I am looking forward to my first muliple day/mile hike with these boots. They are waterproof also (goretex), but you might want to supplement that with some nikwax or similar.
