Use these primarily for everyday wear. I use Merrell Grand Traverse for back country.
Great ankle support and dry land traction. Very comfortable. Like ice skating on when wet.

For 70 bucks, what do you expect?

Well, for this 70 bucks, expect a lot. They're great boots. Remarkably comfortable, light, and very good grip.

Poor wet performance, but the clerk at REI made it clear that they're not intended for wet/muddy/snowy conditions.

The Monarchs replaced a pair of Georgia Boot workboots I wear normally. They're not hiking boots, and they certainly let you know it.

not a bad boot for the money. i find that the soles are a bit thin... the terain tends to find your feet. but, they do what they are priced for.

Good boot for the money, but not very good in the wet stuff. Once the slush and mud got going these babies got a little uncomfortable.
