Overall, the shoes are very good—comfortable, waterproof, and genuinely lightweight, which is a big advantage during long marches. In the rain, your feet stay dry, and moisture management works well. However, they perform less well in severe frost, because the sweat that has been wicked away freezes on the material, making the inside uncomfortable; in those conditions, airing the shoes frequently and changing socks helps. After 8 months, the pair was damaged through no fault of my own, but the warranty claim was accepted and I received a new pair. I also noticed that this model tends to wear through in usually the same spot. If the shoes are still under warranty, there’s nothing to worry about, and after it expires, additional reinforcement can be applied. Despite these drawbacks, I still recommend them.
