I'm in the mountains, hike daily and usually keep five or so boots/shoes in rotation. Different tools for different jobs. I had a pair of Bridgers about five years ago and they crapped out way too soon. Saw these on sale, they had the structure i was looking for and went for it. Got them a couple of months ago, they have roughly 200 miles on them and am glad to say they're showing very little wear TJF · REI
