    I've been wearing these now for about 6 months.
  

*by K***W on Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2016*

I was a bit skeptical of these at first just because of how stiff they were, but after a few days of wearing them I came around. I've been wearing these for about 5 months now and am very satisfied, especially for the price. I recommend you order a half size up as these are a bit small to size. I'm usually between a 10 1/2 and an 11. Went with an 11 on these and they are just a bit on the snug side.  My only complaints about these and they are no fault to the shoe themselves. Is that I was hoping that I would be able to do some light running in them, these do not fit that bill. And that you have a lot of lace left flapping in the wind after you tie them, the laces are sleeved and these wear out in a couple months be prepared to replace them. Also the gortex in these are very good, I've been walking around in snow with them for extended periods of time with no issue.

    Couple things to know BEFORE purchase
  

*by T***G on Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2019*

Shoes were awesome, but ran a smidge small on length. I needed to return for a 1/2 size bigger, but if you buy through 3rd party (backcountry) on Amazon they won’t exchange for a different size. I suggest buying directly from Backcountry, who will complete a proper exchange if needed.They fit a little on the narrow side, but the laces are very adjustable.Also, ortholite inserts are great, but these are VERY thin with a hard sole below that. Some might want new sole inserts.The vibram sole is also great, but the tread on the front half of the foot is pretty thin. I usually blow through that section of shoe first, so I’m curious to see how they hold up. The heel is pretty rugged and maybe a smidge bulky. And the toe of the sole is smooth - no tread. That’s great for some amateur climbing!

*by N***K on Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2017*

The shoe is waterproof and built solid but there is no padding in the sole. The shoe was painful to wear initially but with an insert and a break-in period, I began to get used to them and racked up a lot of miles. The shoe does not provide enough support for hiking. After a year, the shoe is beginning to break down but not to the point of being destroyed.
