It took me longer than usual to break them in, but once I did they felt great! I have never gotten a blister from them. I think that the factory insoles are a too thin, I went out and got some better insoles, which made a huge difference.

i have the goretex versions of this shoe. i have never gotten one blister in the year and a haft wearing them. they are durable, tough, boots that have prevented a twisted ankle on many occasions. my only complaint is that insoles feel very hard after packing for about five miles. in this case, add a good pair of insoles. the goretex has kept my feet dry as a whistle even after numerous river crossings.

For the money, this was a well-padded, durable hiker, which went up some mountains very comfortably. I didn't even get blisters on the first full day in them. I think the fit is very good. They are pretty heavy.
