Amazing that these heavy duty backpacking boots required no break in and are comfy too. I took the time before the purchase to walk around for about an hour in two sizes and listened to my feet. Glad I did. I did not need to "break them in" and their first outside tour was on the PCT with a 40lb pack and 12 miles. NO worries, no fatiqued body parts either; and they felt great. They are warm in winter, I wear Dahlgreen backpacking socks and just can't praise the combo enough. The boots are quite "grippy" and stable on scree and loose ground, including ice. They have performed well during the summer and aren't too hot. I like the lacing system as it allows for locking tension at various points and does not come loose. I have a high instep AND arch, these allow room for orthotics and don't crush the top of my foot (instep). Loved them so well, I bot a second pair when they went on sale. (Oh yeah, they're pretty too!)
