These boots got me to the top of South Marron Peak! The break in was quick, and carring a 35lb pack for miles felt really good! I have to agree with "climbingaggie03" that the soles are way to soft, and after scrambling up the Bells i noticed the soles were tore up pretty good.... these boots would rule the hiking world if they had a Vibram sole!!

I truly lov these shoes.... but wouldn't want to wear them on a long approach! There's just not enough support...... there great for the office and bars but from from a true approach shoe. With this being said...... i've been wearing them to work(desk job) for about three months and have noticed the toe rand is starting to sperate from the leather and the Stealth S1 dotty rubber soles are wearing out fast on the high contact parts of the sole!!
