I have put in a hundred miles or so at this point and here are a couple of observations. - There is a break-in period. These boots are stiffer than what I'm used to and took awhile to loosen up. But I can now put in 10-15 miles without comfort issues. - The traction is incredible. I'm very impressed. Snow, loose gravel, slickrock. They excel on all. - So far, snow seems to just fall off the boots Curtis M · backcountry.com

Ankle support4.5
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
