Great boots for the price

Rating:****
I bought these to replace an old pair of Salomon 's. I like the color a lot, although they seem a bit darker than what is pictured. Don't think it will take much time to break them in. The support for the ankle feels very good. Have not gotten them wet yet so can't say how they will hold up in a wet environment. Overall very pleased.

Overall good lightweight good price - For a hiking boot on the lower end of the price range it's a good shoe, it's lightweight and comfortable. Not sure how long it will last compared to others, but mine looks pretty bad after a year or so anyway and need to get replaced. Can’t beat it for the price.

Best Pair of Shoes

Rating:*****
Best for hiking since I am a Marketing Officer who walks on the sands of Sharjah. It has very good traction!Best Value for the price I got. Move over Clark's, Timberland. They can't have the Best Value You got! More Power!

Good Shoe. Comfortable, good support for the ankle, and breathable. Feet don't feel hot even after several hours of wearing. Good traction.

Good Qualities

Rating:***
Very warm boot with great tread on the bottom. Only downside is that water seems to leak through the mesh. Worked well for down climbing the Lion Head Trail on Mt. Washington, NH.
