Comfy Right Out of the Box; Supportive & Dry All Day Long on Winter Trails
SusanD946248510
There was no breaking-in period for these -- comfortable right out of the box. I hike 3-6 miles almost every day on trails, and bought these to keep my feet warm and dry during snowy and wet winter hikes as low as 0°. These do not disappoint! My feet stayed supported and dry even in 4 -5 inches or more of snow and on very uneven terrain. I loved them so much I bought a second pair locally, since I've learned to stock up when something works so well. I never tried other customers' much-loved Trail 4 Gore-Tex so I can't compare. The 5's are not tight in the forefoot on me, I like the way the tongue is attached, as well as the soft material around the ankles. If they made these in an ankle-high hiking boot version, I'd buy those too, for rougher terrain and deeper snow.
