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

When I originally received the shoes here in Tucson Arizona, I looked at them and expected them to not last long on our Rocky technical trails. I am pleased to say that now with nearly 400 miles on the shoes and honestly no major visible where, I am very happy with their performance. With the added cushion I found them to be comfortable over long miles and surprisingly nimble even on Rocky steep t angstrom27 · REI
