Patagonia Footwear Drifter A/C GTX Hiking Shoe - Men's
Great after break-in

This shoe offers great support, and is solidly built. However I did experience a bit of rubbing on one toe, which went away after a few days of being worn.
I thought these shoes would last me a long time, but I ripped the sole quite badly on a small diameter tree stump after 2 months of use...
Well it turns out they did last me a while! I continued to use the same damaged pair for most of the summer while working a busy tree service job... the overall durability of the shoe as a whole really surprised me.
I returned the broken pair to Backcountry, but they were still going strong, even after months of use while missing half a sole!
