I purchased this boot the year before I went to Philmont, and have almost zero complaints after over 175+ miles later. I feel like I need to mention that I did replace the insole with a third-party one that fit, my foot a little better, but other than that, I have not had to repair or replace anything, and I have been very pleased with its durability and breathability, especially considering how it is also waterproof, which has proven to be a far better way to cross streams and rivers than my previous attempts to skip across slippery rocks with a 40 pound pack.
