Got these for a backpacking trip to Canyonlands NP. Soles are incredibly grippy, more than any I have tried before. Outer shell is mostly rubberized, which offers great protection but I am concerned about the long term durability. With my use, they should probably last about a year. If that is the case I am hoping either GTX or Salewa will honor a warranty request. Keep in mind: manufacturer warranty for these is 3 years if you register the product with Salewa. overall the boot preformed great on and off trail, the sole is a lot stiffer than it looks. In the mid 20's temps, I was feeling the cold, so they aren't SUPER thermal. Lacing system is nice, and built in gaiter works well. Definitely a great boot if you like to go off trail!
