These are incredible! Within the first week of wearing them, I trudged up a wildly overgrown mountainside in pouring rain, wore them out for a nice dinner an up a snowy mountain peak in sub-zero temperatures. My boots have seen mud, rain, snow, wind and still only look gently worn.
After about a month of being broken in, they have become a lot easier to slide right into as well.
Ever since getting them, I also literally see them everywhere and on everyone and we all seem to share the same love and appreciation for their reliability.
Give the hype a chance. Your feet will thank you.
