First off these shoes are really really really good.<br />break in period was less than a few days and that was with moderate walking. I have had mine for 9 months now and still rocking. The tread has started to wear down in the toe area probably because I wear them a lot on the street. But when i do go hiking or hitting the trail they feel like an extension of my feet. i have had a lot more traction than i thought i would have in gravel hiking slopes.  i live in hawaii and the weather is always changing and the shoes keep right on up with keeping me on my feet. quick lace system is cool because if i am climbing a hill and need to do some tightening its done in a jiffy or if my feet need a break its a quick fix. i love them so much i bought my wife a pair as well. just purchased the mid hiking version to take on a camping and hiking trip to molokai and can't wait to rock them out.<br /><br />pros-<br />fits great<br />lace system is sweet<br />looks good<br />good support<br />its pretty darn waterproof<br /><br />cons<br />when wet makes a squeaky noise<br />tread can wear down a bit faster.
