Great fit right out of the box but 10 miles into the trail with 50 lbs on my back I dicovered that the editors of backpacker magazine must all be flat footed becouse these boots have absolutely no arch support. Now after spending 40 dollors on inserts I am still afraid to bring these botts back on the trail. Thanks Backpacker magazine for you editors choice awards not.

I did replace the insoles with green superfeet insoles still didnt help I Do Not recomend these boots to anyone with a big arch. I have never had this problem with any other boot. thanks for the advice though ccebeling.

All hiking boots come with worthless factory insoles, it is generally accepted that you get superfeet or cork insoles if you need arch support. You should review the shoe not the insole.
