Overall a Good Boot

Overall, this boot was a good purchase although what I didn't catch was this was a EE size and wear standard width size. I had filtered out for size (8) and this was the last one in stock, so I purchased it without paying attention that it was a wide boot. It still fits but a little loose but overall comfort is great but I wouldn't go running in these but walking and hiking works fine.

No

Very comfortable fit very cushiony soul but did not hold up ,80 to 100 miles tops!! Plastic piece that the lace goes through on the ankle cause serious chief from day one. The rocky terrain in the white mountains of New Hampshire is tough on shoes and with the soft bottom's just tears them apart

These are wonderfully engineered boots!

Pain-free hiking with Planters Fascitis for me with these boots. Thank you for making them in a wide size. Please offer more of your shoes in wide sizes.

The plastic lacing holes were not flexible enough

A bit tight for my wide feet with bunions and the lacing hole plastic dug into my foot/ankle with each step

Don't like lacing system

Top two lacing hooks are not easy to use, hard to get laces in, and they can slip out

Good choice

The shoe is comfortable. I hope it holds up better than my Speedgoat 4s.

Nice boot

Been in construction for 35 years. Seen many claims to comfort but never had such a good feel and comfort out of the box. A little cumbersome at first but you get used to the sole. If you work and also work in different spots for long hours then these boots work well. I don't know if they will hold up but we shall see.

I love the feel of the boot.

1- offer in a EEEE 2- needs a bigger toe cap. Scratched my new boots first time out. 3- tongue needs to be longer so it doesn't interfere with laces and loop, more comfortable too. 4- offer in a nice brown, more typical.

I might buy this product again.

The design of the sole works well. The shoe makes walking easy and pleasant. You need to purchase arch support insoles separately. Lacing up the shoe is quite difficult. The laces don't go/slide through the holes well and the eyelets at the top are difficult to use, difficult to thread the laces through, and the top two are placed to high on the shoe to keep the top laces from slipping off the tongue and on to your ankle.
