I have mainly used these boots for hiking
The leather has held up very well. Any light scratches that have shown up I have been able to condition, and they dissappear. They have broken in relatively easily for a pnw boot, and with conditioning every 2 months they have stayed pretty soft.
At the beginning of the competition, the toe was narrow, and the heel was wide, but it became very comfortable with time.
The construction is very good. There are some stitch lines that are slightly out of place but not enough to be easily noticed.
The vibram 430 has been a very good outsole for my purposes. The grip is decent and comfortability is very good
Unfortunately I am not very happy with the speed of wear on the bar heel. It is already overdue for a re-heel. Traction is decent.
Overall, it's a good boot, but there are a few minor problems to consider.
