Awesome materials and construction, incredible grip, excellent out sole for hiking / bushwacking / moderate climbing. A bit clunky for my likes, VERY stiff at first, at leas the 15 miles I've worn them so far, and I don't care for the tallish heel; I strongly prefer zero drop shoes. However, I do a lot of off trail hiking with creek and waterfall climbs, landslide hikes, and a bit of rock scrambling, and given these demands, I haven't found a shoe that hits these marks so well. Oh, and they are quite good looking.
