By fairly light weight, rugged boot from Southern California on 09/14/2009 Pros: Comfortable/No Break-In, Sturdy/Durable Best Uses: Day Hiking, Everyday, Harsh Terrain Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I had the gore-tex version of this boot the FSN 95 a few years back and it proved to be indestructible. I needed the same rugged qualities in a boot that would breathe better and found it in the FSN 85. Break in time is minimal, and the boot is comfortable for me. I tried the wide but found that there was too much material and I could not get the proper fit. I went back to the regular and after first feeling a bit too narrow, within two days, the leather had stretched to allow a good fit for my foot. You can also wet the leather and manually stretch or bring it to a cobbler to assist you. Finding a boot that fits right can be a chore, but take the time to try on different brands as many use different "lasts" or models from which they build the boot around.
By Mike from Charlotte on 09/11/2009 Pros: Ankle Support, Arch Support, Comfortable/No Break-In, Flexible, Sturdy/Durable Describe Yourself: Casual/Recreational Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: These day hiking boots are a great value. They are very supportive and once laced properly (had an REI associate show me how)they are form fitting around the heel. I wear a 10.5 D but went with a 11W for extra space. This was ideal in these boots.

By CPK from Seattle, WA on 08/14/2009 Pros: Ankle Support, Arch Support, Comfortable/No Break-In, Great Traction, Sturdy/Durable Cons: Hard platform, Not Water Resistant Best Uses: Day Hiking, Harsh Terrain, Heavy Loads, Light Loads, Long-Distance Hiking Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer, Casual/Recreational Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Great boot, especially for the price. I wore them once before an epic 3-day pack hike with no problems. Even with two broken toes, the boot performed admirably. I'd recommend buying a gel insert, however. Below the rather thin insert is a hard platform of PVC.

By Cam from Upland, CA on 08/10/2009 Pros: Ankle Support, Easily adjustable, Water Resistant Cons: Slippery on wet rocks, Sole wears easily Best Uses: Harsh Terrain, Heavy Loads, Long-Distance Hiking, Wet Conditions Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: These boots worked out well for the Rae Lakes Loop of about 50 Miles. They stayed dry and were quite comfortable for being only a few days old. The sole did seem to be a little worn for 50 miles. Also, they were quite slippery on wet rocks. Overall a very nice boot.

My normal size is 9.5 medium or wide,depending on the maker. I bought this in 9.5 wide and had to return them for a 10 wide. Liked them well enough that I bought my son a pair as well. They were recommended by a veteran climber/hiker.
