I give it high marks for lightness, fit and comfort. I cannot use a low-cut hiker because of ankle support issues, so when I saw that the Hardrock was being used as the base for the Namche, I had to try it. The pair I used for a month of perhaps 25 miles of hiking had a problem where the tough external mesh pulled away from the stitching outside of the tongue portion of the toebox on both shoes. I hope that the second pair does better, then I could easily rate them a 4 or 5.
