These boots kept my feet dry, warm, and comfy through wet hikes on multiple continents.
Chromexcel has been maintenance free besides the occasional brushing. Light nicks and scratches can be rubbed right out.
The arch support on these boots is unreal, especially for someone with high arches. I have never experienced a shoe that actually could match my arch until now.
These are built like a brick shithouse. There are some loose threads and minor finishing issues, but overall they’re well built and can take a beating.
Excellent grip, little stiff for concrete. Not the best for long standing on hard surfaces.
The heel profile is an adjustment but truly locks your foot in.
If you have high arches, I don’t think you could ask for a better pair of boots. These boots fit my foot in a way that none of my other pairs do, and transitioning back is going to be an adjustment.
