Expert Reviews

• The lug depth may be too shallow for some surfaces to grip proficiently.
• Must give leather a chance to dry-out if on a multi-day hike.
• The full submersion of the shoe allowed water to seep through, despite waterproof claims.
• Lacing system is a bit bulky.
• May not suit those with narrow feet, since you can’t tighten the shoes enough.
• The leather upper portion lacked breathability, contributing to overheating of the feet.
• Little torsional stability, making the shoe uncomfortable for some during long hikes.
