“These shoes are comfortable and well built. I ordered them a half size larger than my usual size to account for long walks and swollen feet. Perfect fit for me. They look as though they’ll last for years but they feel almost like slippers when you put them on. I’m wearing them now on a trip to Norway and Scotland and have had no issues. I’m glad I ignored the negative reviews posted by some custom” — Ken · REI

“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
