Best boots for extreme terrains!!!!!

I am very tough on boots especially those for mountain hiking. These are great boots very well made, water proof, durable I use them in the Blue Ridge mountains in VA. Excellent grip very comfortable. I have the hardscrabble, 400 and the 1000 mountain extremes. Stiff when you first get them, but become more and more comfortable after broken in (appoximately 25 to 35 miles). Then they become like gloves. They handle all terrains very well. I've had mine three years now just added the 1000's. Most good boots last me a year these have outweighed my expectations. I'm sold completely on these. These boots are boots you can count on from start to finish they also have excellent customer service.

A good boot for the money

I use these boots for hunting and they keep my feet very dry and warm. The boots have good treads for walking and the upper part of the boot gives good support to the ankles. The insouls very comfortable and give good support to the bottom of the feet. The boots are just alittle heavy, but nice. Dave
