Nice All Around

I've worn these on three hikes in preparation for the Inca Trail. No blisters, no hotspots, no need to break them in. The sole is at the midpoint between a trail runner and a trad hiking boot, so not soft but not super stiff. Rocks are noticeable but not an issue. I've been hiking on warm days and the heat on my feet isn't insufferable. I'd but a half size higher next time especially if you plan to add insoles. My superfeet make them a little too tight after 6 miles.

Better Than Anything I’ve Found!

These shoes are unbelievably comfortable and extremely durable. I deliver packages in Minnesota for a living and I have tried all of the other brands of hiking boots and nothing comes close NOTHING.

Not Worth The Price.

There are several factors on this that just seem overlooked but are easy fixes. First is the pull up tab on the back. Why is it so low on the shoe? It is meant to help open the boot to make it easier to slide on but instead is too low for it to be useful. The shoe laces are a terrible material. Like the reviews say, it doesn't matter how tight they are but they will come undone. If you switch out the next issue is the "eyes" for the laces at the top. The back where you put the laces in stick up in the back and snag the lace. You will eventually rip them out. Shoe is comfortable and more waterproof than it looks. I have only had them for a year so I cannot speak on longevity. There is a part of fabric coming undone a few months ago.

Solid Shoe

Tremendous support in the sole of the boot, very solid ankle support. Gave me more push when hitting up hills and uneven terrain.

Great Shoes!

Have used these on several hikes so far and the difference between these and my old hiking shoes is night and day! Get these if you want excellent hiking boots!

Fit Comfortably And True To Size

These have been comfortable and very supportive. I haven’t had a chance to hit the trails yet, but they’re light and comfortable at work on concrete floors.

Happy With The Shoe

I bought this shoe in anticipation of a major trek in Scotland. 45 miles in 4 days. I have worn the shoe a dozen times. It feels great, lightweight but rugged. You really didn't need to break this shoe in.

Great Overall Boot For Just About Everything

I have put about 200 hours on my x ultra 5 gym mid boots. Overall the quality and durability is superior to anything else I have tried at this price point. The stock insoles were not so great for my high arches, and I wish there was slightly more room in the toe for a thicker after market insole because my feet are a little crowded.

Incredibly Design

At first I didn’t like the arch the shoe provided but the more I wore them, I realized how amazing it was. I can go on a twelve mile hike and not feel like I have to rip them off!
