So far so good

By Adam Bowles March 31, 2008

I wasn't so sure about the asymmetrical lacing and tongue system. But, after 10 minutes out of the box, I understand how the off-angle lacing really can eliminate toe pinch. As for the tongue and cuff design, it's nice, but not nearly as noticeable as the natural flex in the toe box.

I've had these for about 2 weeks now and I've to put them under pack load, as I would like to make sure new boots won't fail before I get too far back off the trail. So far, they're looking like they'll, not only hold up, but excel in the backcountry.

I'm giving these a four star rating only because they have yet to stand the test of time.
