These boots have been many places with me - Oregon deserts (with 40+ lb pack), Colorado mountains (through big talus fields with a day pack), snowy Indiana and Utah canyons. The footbed construction is very supportive but I am looking at trading them in as I have not yet (in over 2 years of wear) been able to 'break them in' beyond the point where they leave quarter sized blisters on the backs of each heel. I thought I was getting there when they stopped blistering my second smallest toes but they never fail to leave me in lots of heel pain. Perhaps my feet are just not right for this design. Besides that - these are great boots.

I completely agree. These boots tore up my heels like you wouldn't believe. I tried various points of tightening laces, thicker socks, everything. I gave them 2 good years to break in and experiment to no avail. These boots suck.
