EMS. Comfortable, good look, not as bulky as boots for warmer weather
That are my first hiking boots, now it looks good and feels good.
Only wore once to get the feel of them. My intent for these shoes is to use them for snowshoeing because they are water proof. But, no snow here yet!Very comfortable and stylish. Looks like a hiking shoe should look!Only concern is that the sole isn’t as aggressive as I like but using for snowshoeing and traction doesn’t really come from the boot.
Used these this past week as part of a hiking gambit I go through when visiting my sister. These passed with flying colors. Only issue I feel that needs an upgrade is the tongue. Too thin and not padded enough there.
Very comfortable and fit well!
I'm on my feet alot and these shoes don't disappoint! I did size up and I'm so glad I did that. These shoes are comfortable yet durable and look nice too. Highly recommend!
They run slightly small and narrow. I don’t need to wear wide shoes but the toe box on these is tight. The material is very stiff. Ok for chores but not to wear all day at work. I wouldn’t buy them again.
