These are incredible!

Ranked #1139 - Men's Trail Run Shoes

I bought a pair of these thinking they were not the gore-tex version since I wanted the regular ones. When they came I was a bit bummed, but decided to give them a try anyway. The fit is perfect, better support than any other shoes I have and they are incredibly comfortable. I was a bit unsold on the waterproof feature until I spent a morning tromping through the snow, and after that I am totally sold. I have not had wet feet since these came. They also vent incredibly well, and have not had an issue with swamp foot like I had with a pair of NF gore-tex shoes that ended up in the donation box. The lacing system is bomber, works very well. Highly recommended.
