Great boot

By cmr4492308 Ranked #363 - Men's Backpacking Boots March 24, 2011

I've used this boot for a couple of intense 2 day backpacking trips, as an approach shoe at red rocks, and for carrying a heavy pack up the climbers trail. In all cases, I was very pleased with this boot. I've found that it fits my heel well, despite that I typically have trouble finding boots that will hold my heel in place, without being overly tight around the forefoot. They are not quite as stiff as I was expecting, however, they offer adequate support with a 45 lb pack. Additionally, I found that the rocker on these boots made for very comfortable walking. And finally, when using these boots on 4th class approaches, and while climbing a couple of 5.easy chimneys, I was happy with how well the rubber gripped.
