SALEWA Men's Camping & Hiking Boots, Poseidon Cactus, 8

...You should know they are Really, Really hard to put on and take off. And that's a good thing in that they fit like a glove, conform to your feet, and that is what gives the support without weight, they are very comfortable in doing that.So, to achieve what I was after (closed to keep scree and debris out on steep climbs) they must fit close and snug. They also have sharp sole tread for grip. Perfect for my needs. Their streamline surface will not hangup in vines and grass.As others have mentioned, they run small. I went up a half size and that came in just right with light weight socks. Hopefully the comfort level won't require thicker socks.Update: Back to five stars. After two extended hike-climbs, I'm in love with these. They now accept medium weight socks (warmer). The tread grips better than anything I have had over the years. Do I recommend them? Yes, for special use, not for everyday use (due to the ordeal getting them on. Off is not bad). They are more like ballet toe slippers, worth the prep for the performance.Not sure what the vibrant green eye(lets) are about. Intended to attract or repel rattlesnakes? Might paint them black.

They definitely run about 1 size small. So I normally wear 11 and a 12 fit perfectly. I bought these to wear at work and I honestly love them as far as comfort, traction and style. However, that nylon ankle ring at the top is exactly what it looks like...These boots are not easy to put on so be prepared. Alternatively, they won't come off easily, which is important in my line of work. They also aren't particularly warm, so if it's about 40 F you'll likely feel it if you aren't constantly moving. They are a niche footwear and they are awesome if this is the type of shoe you need. Not just for climbing. If you care about solid support and a lightweight, durable shoe with amazing traction and a badass look...this is it.

I'm a big fan of the long-running Merrell Chameleon stetch shoes, the combo of hiking tread and ninja sock-like fit is awesome. The upper on these Salewa's promised to take this a step further by combining S's great fit technology with a completely dirt-blocking collar, but frustratingly they suck to get on and off. Just really miserable considering that the Merrell's are almost slip-ons. Something like a velcro'd gusset is desperately needed. Unfortunately I was so excited by the tread behavior that I wore them and can't return them now. I also wish they were all-synthetic like my older Firetails- these would make great jungle boots if only they were rot-proof. Really sad about that part.

On my feet most of the day on hard surfaces. Getting older now and my feet need support. The arch support is perfect, for me, and the ankle support is just enough. LOVE this boot, size is true and though most times I need to order wide, didn't need to with this boot.

I absolutely love these boots! Unbelievable comfort, incredibly stylish, and tough as nails. To top it off, I got these in 2 days of ordering them. I was very surprised and happy. I wish I could get the other available color to have both. Will definitely continue my relationship with Outland, USA.

Good luck getting them on

Love these boots. At first I thought they were a little pricey, but these things were worth every penny. They are warm and they are actually waterproof. I run a lot and I wanted a boot that I could run in the snow and slush without getting my feet wet. Well....i found them lol. Definitely will buy again.

Everyday use

Prese senza provarle essendo il mio secondo paio di salewa, estremamente comode e versatili. Usate su neve fresca e neve solida (con quest'ultima consiglio l'utilizzo di catene per avere un grip migliore). Con la giusta calza diventano perfette per l'inverno pur rimanendo traspiranti. Attenzione non sono ramponabili ne semiramponabili.Difficili da mettere vista la particolare forma della caviglia associata alla ghetta interna ma una volta indossate danno sicurezza che non entrerà nulla durante il cammino. Non vedo l'ora di provarla in estate su ferrate per valutare al meglio la mobilità e libertà del piede. Assolutamente consigliate a chi cerca una scarpa poliedrica.Unico aspetto che può parere negativo è la scarsa sensazione di grip sulla caviglia data da un solo giro di lacci ma attenzione avete davanti a voi una scarpa appositamente pensata per essere piu libera di un classico scarpone mid!

Ich habe schon alle Farbe da von, sehr bequem stylisch und hoch Qualität.

Ottimo

Parfait
