it had me at hello
I am an avid hiker and have looked for hiking boots that would be as comfortable as an english hand made business shoe....and this is "it". It did take two days to soften up but the toe box and the arch support were exceptional from the very first time I put them on. Since I purchased them I have walked over 100 miles and I keep them on even when I am done hiking...comfort is exceptional I can not speak to durability as i just got this pair. If it lasts me a few months and performance is as good i will buy a few pairs and hoard them

The best hiking boots
This is by far the best hiking boots I have ever tried in any weather condition, any terrain. Even after more than six hours hiking, my feet do not feel any pain or discomfort. I am buying another pair for my son. Due to the structure of boots, they can hold my legs well even during the golfing: I have worn them because of my right side ankle problem. Highly recommendable to those who love hiking and walking.

Wonderful Boot
I feel this is the best boot that I tried on out of a dozen or so. It feels very comfortable when wearing and you can certainly feel the support they provide. I have not had a chance yet to try them hiking but certainly look forward to doing so. The quality of this shoe is amazing, you can tell they don't cut corners. I also think they look very good compared to some of the multi-colored boots that are sold now days. I suggest before you make the purchase for another boot give the Zamberlans a try and you will see how good they feel. I have owned Vasques, Merrell's in the past and this is by far the best looking and most comfortable of the bunch.

Very Good
Great boot. Very comfortable.I would suggest buying a size or two larger, seem to run on the small size, at least for me.

Too stiff for me
I really wanted to like these. The build quality is very impressive. The traction of the soles on these is second to none. But for a hiking boot they are just too stiff for me. With the bottom not flexing enough, my heel would slid up the back a lot, and I was very prone to getting heel blisters with these. After a couple of hikes I had to return these for some Asolo boots.
