text: Great warm weather intermediate-advanced hiking shoe. I put these to the test for a week on the rocky, rugged trail in Big Sky Montana and they didn't disappoint. The treads are great but I found myself sliding around too much in the heels. Maybe the newer models have addressed this issue? The shoe size was accurate.  It's a moderately heavy shoe as well and they are not naturally hydrophobic. So I'd recommend waterproofing them before hitting the trails. This will make a big difference.
