I love these shoes. I am giving them 4 stars only becuase they are not waterproof. Let me tell ya what though! These shoes are 100% the most comfortable shoe I have ever owned. I am able to tackle any kind of trail, they grip, they crawl, they even displace mud pretty damn well. I had to add some arch support for my high arches but other then that theses shoes are worth the money all the way.
