THEY ARE AMAZING! I tried to break them in slow, and got really bored, so I ran out for a 3-4 mile hike. Not able to find a pair of 14s to try, I ordered these on line and crossed my fingers. My last pair was starting to get sore on my outer toes, I finally got to a store that had an actual measuring devise, and it seems I grew some more, and now need a 14, not the 13s I always had. Paying 230 bucks and having the glue debond on boots designed for backpacking int he mountains, is unacceptable. This was after 2-3 weeks of use, not in poor conditions. Second pair I've bought and the rubber on the toe debonds. Solid lightweight boot for its height with excellent ankle support too. The goretex does its job- I spent a few miles walking through puddles of slush and snow on a local trail and found no leaks. Footbed is very comfortable-The outsole provides plenty of traction and stability on wet and dry rocky surfaces with and does pretty well with shedding mud. I tried every “waterproof/ breathable” boot on the wall from Asolo to Zamberlan and go figure, the boot on the top shelf, indeed came out on top. I was a little concerned these boots would be too narrow for my feet which run in between a wide fit and a regular. I’ve worn Salomon footwear for over 15 years, and this boot is very inconsistent with the quality I’m used to from Salomon. I’ve owned these boots for less than a month, and after 2 weekend trips (less than 50 miles total) the sole is already beginning to fall off. I’m aftaid to say that those reviews were right. I decided to give these boots a try despite the numerous other reviews saying that they were comfy but had major durability issues.
