Pretty solid, Ugly as sin

By Ranked #259 - Men's Hiking Boots May 30, 2011

i haven't used these extensively yet, but they are quite comfy. Kind of light feeling for boots. They are definitely water proof and feel pretty sturdy.

I am a runner, and do a lot of street running. i always get shoes that weight under 7 ounces because I like to feel relatively unhindered by my footwear. These are boots, but I feel relatively free in them compared to some of the other ones I have worn. Apparently they have some kind of chassis or something that is supposed to aid this, whatever it is, it works. They are sturdy, but they give enough so you can kind of feel what you are walking on, etc. It's not a bad thing, very nice.

The laces come down really far on the toe... which is weird to me. I'm not sure what purpose it serves but doesn't seem to get in the way. But like I said, these things are ugly as sin.
