Solid Boot, few design flows for longevity

By Jesse Neet Ranked #17 - Men's Backpacking Boots November 24, 2011

These are a great boot for short to middle distance hikes. Have had mine for 3 months and have enjoyed the comfort. Little heavy for any long distance backpacking. Overall the boot is well made, but I do worry if it can handle any sharp, rocky terrain with some of the designing on the boot. For example, the lock down strap wraps around the heal and is a thin nylon piece. It is in a vulnerable position to be nicked by rocks and other trail monsters that like to sneak up and get you. The heal has a lot of glue piecing the heal together, which over time is prone to coming apart and leaking. If you can get them on sale, not a bad hiking boot to pick up.
