User Reviews
They're comfortable looks good and the soul looks pretty aggressive for hiking
Reading some reviews on boots is like reading the story of the three bears, too big, too small, just right. I just count how many people say to size up apposed to sizing down and take a chance on the majority. That said, I haven't tried them out in wet weather and I'm not a hiker but they are comfortable. I went up half size from 9 1/5 to a 10 and they fit me just right.
Its a little could of week up a size higher for sure but to late now. Only had them a short time.
