These are some boots that I bought about 4 years ago since my last hiking boots got worn out. I have to say that these were some of the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I actually think that the size I got was a little too small, as they were a little snug, but when I put them on, it was like walking on a cloud. I didn’t even have to break them in before they were comfortable. They were waterproof, which was nice when walking in the rain or through shallow creeks. They are also fairly warm, which helped when I was hiking in some cold areas like Norway.

They were waterproof for about a year or two, but now they don’t really keep the water out. I believe there is some sort of aftercare product one can use to restore the waterproofing, but they are worn out in other ways as well, and I ultimately decided to simply replace them.

The rubber on the back had gotten kind of chewed up, and I suspect it’s from putting the other toe on the heel when I take my shoes off.

Additionally, some of the stitching has come undone, and small flaps of cloth are coming loose. I tried fixing it with superglue once, but it didn’t hold for very long. I suppose I needed to use a glue intended for cloth.

I still wear them around as they still work, but after using them on multiple treks over 4 years, it is time to retire them. They fit like glass slippers when I first put them on, and it pains me to move on to other boots, but I need something that still has some sole and that is waterproof.

Pros:

Super comfortable

Cons:

Waterproofing gave out after about 2 years
