These boots are perfect for a day hiker who does not over use the boots. I have had three pairs of these boots in uder a year. They all wore out because of over use. They are also a very flexible boot, not to be used on anything to rocky (i had trouble on Mt. Washington coming out of tuckermans). They are a great boot comfort wise, with a short break in time, but do not expect any them to last a life time of hard use. Just a note- remeber gore-tex is great, but it wears out in boots very quickly (sometimes less then 6 months). Customer Service As usual Bean's replaced the boots twice after stitching failure. They are the best example of a custmer orriented return/repair service I have ever come across Similar Products Used: Limmer Boots(The best I have ever owned) LL Bean Knife's Edge |

I have size 14 feet, and was reluctant to buy boots by mail order. However, I knew of Bean's policy of accepting returns whatever the reason might be for a customer's dissatisfaction, so I figured I had nothing to lose. The boots came, they fit perfectly, and I immediately went on a backpacking trip 5 miles in and out with my four kids, which meant of course that I ended up carrying their loads often. The boots were comfortable right out of the box. No blisters or even hot spots. Totally waterproof and warm, I even wear them as my everyday winter boot here in the Snow Belt. I love them.

I bought these boots 1 1/2 years ago and they are fantastic! First time I wore them was a on a 3-day hike on the ridge trail in Talladega national forest with a 50lb pack and rain. No blisters or problems of any sort. They are still going strong and look good. The boots have above average volume which means you need thick socks or an insole. I went the insole route and that has worked well. The only reason they get a 4 for value is because they cost $160. Customer Service Excellent customer service. Never a problem.
