First full day of break-in.. did a lot of walking on mostly mud and gravel, lots of hills. Couple hours of driving and some chores around the house as well. The boots were not a problem at all..the only discomfort I had was in my heal when going up a steep hill (very stiff heal counter and this fit locks my heal in super well). I put in the kitties for comfort on my instep knowing that I’d need to lace these tight for hiking, but I actually like the look a lot and these might be a permanent fixture.. I’m really impressed with these boots, they’re going to get some heavy wear time in my rotation. 🤙
