Review Title

By Ranked #565 - Men's Hiking Shoes November 5, 2009

As stated by several others, the wire lacing/binding has "issues" in that it is not resilient enough to be tightened up and not break after more than a month or two of use.

I love these shoes/boots, but this is my second pair and even though they are covered by a good warranty, if the wire breaks out in the boonies and you can't make a temporary fix, you're up the creek, mate!

Overall/bottom line review: Excellent/outstanding foot bed and support/padding, compromised by a sub-par restraint system.
