3.0 out of 5 stars Only game in town . . ., July 22, 2009

My girlfriend and I just backpacked about 400 miles on the AT. We're both vegans so, not buying leather products, all signs pointed to this boot, the only entirely synthetic hiking boot on the market...

It broke in quickly and comfortably, which was nice, however the insoles weren't supportive enough; an additional cheap insole made long days a better experience.

While I recognize that any boot stays wet when wet, the Gor-tex tag didn't live up to its name. They soaked through quickly when going through dewy grasses or just after a rain, not to mention DURING a storm.

My last gripe seems to be a manufacturer's error: both of my toes are de-laminating after only 5 weeks use.

In regular, weekend hiking conditions I recommend this boot. It will proficiently do anything you may want. For aggressive, extended use, it wasn't worth the cost.

I bought these boots for my son who is a vegan. He has to walk to classes at campus and I thought these would be perfect in the snow. They were hard to find in the size I was looking for, but thanks to the internet, I was able to finally locate them. They are high quality, attractive, waterproof, and he says - very comfortable. Great job Garmont!

It was important for me to find a pair of hiking boots that were Vegan and at the same time be lite ,durable and well constructed.These boots fit the bill and then some.I am an advid hiker and took them out for a 15 mile hike right away and they were great.They didn't need any breaking in and felt great the whole hike.
