Nice hiking boots
I have had a pair of all leather Vasque hikers for 23 years, but in the last several years I noticed that the sole was coming up from the leather and leaking on one boot. They were awesome boots. So, we were headed out west for hiking in all the parks in southern Utah, and I began looking. I did not think I wanted such a heavy weight hiking boot this time, so I was reluctant about this one, but it is lighter than most others made similarly and has a slim look to it on my foot. After hiking an 11 mile riverbed in rented neoprene socks and river hikers, my feet were pretty torn up, but these worked great to support my feet and ankles, give my toes room, keep my foot in place (no sliding), and keep out water, sand, and dust. I had to play with the positioning of the tongue to avoid rubbing my already sore ankle, but after I found the right spot, I was more comfortable in these than my running shoes for the shorter 2-4 mile hikes.

Perfect hiking boot
I bought my boots based strictly on the reviews. Never had Salewas before. I was a bit concerned the first time I put them on as they were rubbing slightly around the ankles. But after 15 min of walking in the woods, I forgot I had boots on, let alone the brand new ones. These boots are light but still feel like you have support in the foot and ankle, they grip well too. I wear street size 10 and ordered size 10. After replacing the sole with my own and putting on a hiking sock, I still had a bit of a wiggle room in the toe box. My foot is medium to slightly wide. If you have a really wide foot, I am not sure if these boots are right for you, as they don't have much room across.

My New Favorite Boot
Salewa Boots are just flat out amazing. If you're on the fence about trying them, go ahead and give em a shot. They will quickly turn into your go-to boot. I firmly believe that you should never go cheap on your feet. Salewa makes a more than sufficient boot for the price point.

Awesome hiking/approach boots
Love these boots, I replaced the inside but I always do in all my boots as I have a very high arch, I wore them around the house when I got them and they felt wonderful, we hiked up steep terrain with lots of rocks and I gotta say these boots are my new favorite, so comfortable, I highly recommend them, wish they came in black also. I wear an 8.5 or 9 and ordered 8.5 and they fit perfect.
