Good Features
Little break-in, flexible sole, good support, solid toebox
Bad Features
Fabric/leather combined upper does not provide as much protection for the gore-tex membrane; after some wear they will let water through if there is snow on top or if walking in the stream
Recommended Alternatives
Asolo all-leather boots (though less breathable and require more break-in) will stay waterproof longer. |

Good Features
My feet sweat a lot. These boots are breatheable and surprisingly water resistant. They are stiff but not overly so.
Bad Features
Insoles are a must for my feet. water resistant but not water proof by any means. |

Good Features
Relatively cheap, worth the price for a hiking boot.
Bad Features
Tread wears and loses traction, lots of seams. Wear over time causes these to come open one seam or another.
