boy, that was a mouthful. i tried these boots today, as i've been 'shoeless' for my upcoming march hike. they were super comfortable out of the box, and had enough flex to satisfy the place on the front insides of my ankles that generally hurt from stiffer boots (and resulted in tendonitis). they held the heel, and had plenty of toebox. though i like to stay away from gortex, these feel like sneakers with some weather protection for march/april, and later at the end of the hike. has anyone used these boots for long distance, or have any other recommendations? i had blisters on my heels before in my asolo 'adreneline' or now 'stynger' boots, though, lt. wt., they felt overall more substantial.
