3.0 out of 5 stars Decent Inexpensive Day Hiker, Horrible Laces, January 16, 2009

By	Chuck Bonner "http://www.HikingWithChuck.com" (Nashua, NH, USA) - See all my reviews

After a few weeks of light use, I expect these boots to serve well as light day hiking boots. However, the laces they come with are worthless.

I received these boots as a Christmas gift, and I have used them on a few short hikes in the snow and ice. They are very comfortable, they provide excellent traction on bare rock and on snow, and they keep my feet warm and dry in all conditions I have put them through so far.

The only downside is the laces. I noticed the first time I put them on that the laces made an ominous grinding sound as I drew them tight. It didn't get better. Within a week, one lace began to become "delaminated," as the outer layer broke. Soon, the other lace also split open. I replaced them with a good, sturdy pair of sport laces.

The original laces are obviously poorly made, but that might not be the only problem. The grinding sound suggests that perhaps the eyelets have rough edges or burs inside them, and that maybe my replacement laces will also fail sooner than they should.

Time will tell. (I'll update this review in a few months, if I have anything new to report.)

Overall, I would rate these boots at four stars if it weren't for the bad laces and for my fear that they will also destroy good laces. They are actually pretty good boots, for the price.

If you do buy these boots, you _must_ purchase a decent pair of laces with them. Replace the original laces immediately (they're very hard to remove without cutting, once the outer shell has separated), and put them in your backpack as an emergency spare.

These boots require unusually long laces, because the inlet is very wide. Even though they only have six pairs of eyelets (including one pair of hooks), get a pair of laces at least 54 inches long. 48 inch laces simply won't span that wide inlet six times.

**Update, 4/11/2009**
As I feared, these boots continue to be very hard on laces, even very good laces. If you own these, always keep an extra pair of laces in your pack. Depending on how much and how hard you hike, you'll replace the laces every two to four months.

Otherwise, the boots are still good, inexpensive, light-duty hiking boots.
