By Todd Harlos Ranked #113 - Men's Hiking Shoes December 8, 2010

After procrastinating getting these I received them about 2wks prior to a 75mile AT hike the beginning of December. I live where it is FLAT, so no proper break-in. Worn over smartwool adrenaline lows and at times smartwool heavy hiker (old model) with a 30lb pack did not generate any blisters.

They are somewhat heavier than my other trail shoes but I attribute that to the vibram soles, which I love for hiking shoes. Also has gtx. This considered, I'll take the trade.

Hiked in rain/mist and up to 4in of snow in temps from 55 down to 12degF. Feet stayed very comfortable. The shoes always appeared "wet" but didnt seem any heavier. Occasionally used Kako Icetrekkers (sz LG over sz 12W moabs).

Hope to get many miles out of these, will update if anything changes.
