not well made, they will fall apart

By Ranked #554 - Men's Hiking Boots July 20, 2009

These very well could be the perfect boot (it's really a high-top shoe) for walking around the nearest row of chain restaurants or maybe checking out the newest gear at REI. But if your hiking adventures go off the National Park(ing lot) Service paved trails you might be disapointed. After occasional use for two weeks in the San Juans and Sawatch, as well as a week in southern Utah mine are falling apart and have just been flimsly. It really pisses me off the soul is seperating from the shoe after only 100 miles or so. Ankle support is weak, and the soul feels like a mid level running shoe. I don't believe these will last though the end of the year. Although, at $74 (51% off) you can't expect much out of these right?
