Despite breaking these boots in on several hikes in the adirondacks, when I went on the "real trip" (Berg Lake Trail B.C.) and had a heavy load these boots gave me severe blisters on my heels (this despite prophylactic moleskin and two layers of socks.) They also developed a nagging pressure point under my left big toe that got worse over time. The boots are actually way too soft in the ankle. Contrary to the company blurb, while the ankles are flexible support is compromised. They are really useless for front-pointing.
