Great Boot, Moderate Durability.

The best boot for when you do a lot of hiking and need to be nimble. Unfortunately, the fabric lace eyelets rip out. Professionals will shred these in a year or two of service. I like them enough that I just plan on buying new ones every year or so.

Sturdy Boot With Great Traction

I spend more time on foot than in the boat so I was after a boot that would be durable and sturdy across land as much as in the water. The M's Flyweight are performing well in this regard. The sole is remarkably "sticky" so far and inspires a lot of confidence in stability. I can't imagine what they'd be like with cleats! They are a boot so they do have a bit of heft to them, but relative to other boots I have used these are pretty light.

Poor Durability

For 2 seasons I really loved these boots. Lightweight, great grip w/studs & great for hiking - most places I fish require a good 2 mi+ hike (~ 50 days/yr). But then they started falling apart, eyelets broke, soles are very worn down, had to glue the sole back on in spots, etc. The durability on these boots are not that great at all for the price.

Hike In, Hike Out!

My daily driver especially for longer hike in tailwater fishing. I've gotten a LOT of use out of my first pair and am getting ready to re-order. Would benefit from a slightly more durable lace and eyelet combination. That's what I wore out first. Good general grip. I wet wade in these w/ just rock guards and winter fish in them as well. Bought 1 size above my standard shoe size for use with Simms 4 mil neoprene guide pant.

Awesome Boots…Very light weight and great comfort!!
