First hike I wore these boots on was a winter 10km trail through Cradle Mountain. Fantastic straight out of the box comfort and warm dry feet. They are really light and the synthetic fabric moves with your foot flex superbly. The lacing system has locking clips to stop them from slipping or moving over time when laced up. Really looking forward to more hikes in these especially multi day trips. AJ · arcteryx.com.au

Was skeptical due to several low star reviews, but just put these to work on the 50 mile W trek in Chile and they worked great. Have been running in lone peaks for years and used heavy boots to trek in the past, but no longer. Supportive, very comfortable, no break in time, no blisters. My partner was wearing her regular lone peaks and did get wet feet, I was dry in rain and creek crossings no pro Dano · altrarunning.com
