Well made, lightweight.

Like the dual lacing system, so far. Lightweight and fit well. Somewhat smaller sizing than other brands.

Great boots, my second pair

I love these boots. My first pair were reviewed on 7/21/21 upon receipt. Since then, they have taken me many miles including through the Appalachian Trial on the White Mountains in New Hampshire and over Clouds Rest in Yosemite. They are still in great shape, but I bought a second pair so I can alternate them and have the two pairs together last a lot longer. They are substantial without being too heavy. And, the toe-box laces help adjust them between uphill and downhill. They have done well on every surface I have encountered.

Great approach boot - also climbs well for moderate routes

I've beet using this boot for an approach shoe for a while, and recently starting climbing with them for routes up to 5.6 in the Gunks instead of switching over to climbing shoes. Surprisingly good edging capability in the toe area and good grip whilst smearing. The DFS is excellent - could snug the front portion of the shoe enabling to feel the features of the rock. Took a few miles to wear in as I have a wide forefoot and narrow heel - no issues after that period.
