I've owned these boots several years now & have been extremely happy. They've performed well on & off trail and in all kinds of conditions. The Goretex waterproof boot continues to keep my feet dry. I have a fairly narrow foot & they fit great! These are fantastic boots for use when carrying a heavy pack- very stable.

I highly recommend this boot. while they are expensive (approx $300), they will serve you well for many years.
