Great backpacking and scrambling boot

By wa.waunderer Ranked #658 - Men's Hiking Boots August 5, 2009

I bought these boots three months ago and have put many backpacking, dayhiking, and peakbagging miles on them in the North Cascades. They are an awesome approach shoe when your backpacking in 10 plus miles, you can feel the energy return from the Abzorb cushioning, and ankle support from the hightop cut. I have scrambled scree, talus, boulders, and class 3-4 rock with these. They don't kick in steps or edge on hard snow, but at the low weight and comfort I can wear these most of the time, carry my Scarpa Charmoz, and save a lot of energy. They are still trekking after getting overnight beatings of 30 miles and 10,500', so I love them.
