[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is as if my most comfortable running shoes had a child with a pair of hiking boots. I tried on a bunch of other styles and brands, but they reminded me of hiking boots when I was a Scout (long ago): heavy, clunky and overly stiff. Then, I tried these on. It is like walking on clouds. Rugged-soled clouds, but clouds, nonetheless. They offer a decent amount of side structure without cramping your foot, and have great mid-ankle support. The waterproofing is effective, but as happens with such boots, your feet can get sweaty in warmer temps, so plan accordingly. All around, this is a great boot for light- to medium-duty hiking. Plus, with the funky styling and colors, you will look much cooler than your peers with the tired-looking traditional boots. Feel free to make fun of them for their choices.
