Even though I had to return these boots due to a separation of the Gore Tex lining, I went right back to another pair of them. After about 150+ miles on them, they were really broken in well. However, during a recent 40-mile AT hike, I started to have some problems with the right boot where the lining seemed to be separating from the outer ankle support area, causing an unfortunate rub/hotspot on my right ankle. The Wasatch GTX is a really great, comfortable boot - best I've ever had. I asked Backcountry about getting the boots replaced under warranty and they did without hesitation. Backcountry.com is a great place to shop, and I'll continue to buy from them in the future. No worries on what you get from them - they stand behind their merchandise 100%.

This is a great midweight hiking boot. Very comfortable to wear - lots of great ankle support. Tried several other brands of boots due to the retail cost, but kept coming back to the Wasatch GTX because of how they felt. Local stores and other online gear shops had them for $160...this place had them for $98. What a deal!! Have put about 30+ miles on them in the past month with no problems. They should last a good long time.
