I am VERY happy with the product. Extremely comfortable and can be worn even for casual walks apart from a hike. I hiked extensively in them when they were almost brand new and didn’t have any issues . They didn’t have to be “worn in” to be comfortable. I like the ankle support and they are lightweight. I feel they are smart and durable Nanette W. · arcteryx.com.au
