I have been using these shoes for years as my daily hikers and my backpacking shoes. I love the stiff sole and the fact that I dont feel every rock on the trail. Once the shoes are completely broken in, they feel like gloves on my feet. I never get blisters or sore feet like I used to in my light hikers. They are very breathable and waterproof. My last pair lasted over 150 hikes of lengths between ChrisW · REI
