I don't understand the negative reviews of late. I've had two pairs of these and both have been excellent (I switched to a different brand only because of a good sale in 2021); nice grip and comfort for day hikes. Maybe the latest pairs are being made differently. Not sure, but from my experience I recommend highly (waterproofing is also outstanding) FranktheTank · mec.ca

I go out and hike 6 - 10 miles, 3 - 4 times per week around Missoula, Montana and take longer backcountry trips during the summer. I used to wear Altra Lone Peak low tops and bought these after I broke my ankle for the added support. They took a good 20 miles or more to get broke in, but afterwards they feel amazing!! I have put well over 500 miles on the pair I currently have and they still look Caleb · topoathletic.com
