I bought these shoes several months ago. They were super comfortable the first time out. I’ve worn them for long day hikes in the redwoods and hills of the San Francisco Bay Area, as well as when I’ve spent all day on my feet on asphalt volunteering. Seems in general (not just this boot) that Garmont shoes run small. I bought these a half-size larger than I normally do.

These are the most comfortable hiking boots I have ever had. They required NO break-in. I put them on, and spent all day Christmas shopping. No blisters, or sore feet. I actually look for things to wear with them because they are so comfortable, which isn’t hard to find. They feel like your favorite pair of tennis shoes. Not bulky, stiff, or heavy. All of the features really work with your feet. I would definitely recommend!

I’ve used this boot for about 4 years now and here’s the deal:

-They’re waterproof – I stepped in a huge mud puddle the other day and the boot dried in moments
-Grips well: I’ve been up and down ladders, hiked on ice and in snow, even on some very rugged, rocky boulder-ridden trails and have never slipped (knock on wood)
-Warm but not too warm – GREAT for Fall/Winter Hiking with a heavy sock yet lightweight enough for Spring and Summer as well
-Good support and COMFORTABLE

I honestly can’t say a bad thing about these boots. And I love that they’re Vegan! Just goes to show that animal products aren’t the answer!

Again, 4 years of hiking, working, walking and no damage nor wear is even apparent. They’re also quite attractive.

I would recommend these to the serious Hiker as well.

A truly fantastic VEGAN, Cruelty-free product.

I have bought these shoes once already about two years ago. They are still holding up strong and are so durable but comfortable that they are my EVERY DAY WORK SHOES. My work is strenuous, I run back and forth a lot all day and have to sometimes stand for 10 hours for other shifts. My knees don’t hurt and I don’t use insoles. I’m going to buy another pair so I can have them for running trails again, now that I have dependable work shoes, lol!

I bought these shoes last May 2011 and have been very pleased with them. I wore them on a trip into the rugged Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, wore them riding my mountain bike all summer, wore them on 10 + mile hikes on rugged terrain with bushwhacking involved, and recently wore them hiking through a foot of snow in the woods. They do provide some warmth but my feet did get slightly cold in the snow, however they stayed dry. I also wear them to work. They are very comfortable with nice traction and ankle support. The material is surprisingly rugged and well put together for involving no leather or suede. Aside from stains and dirt from lots of use, I could have bought them yesterday for how good of shape they are still in. The only minor problem I noticed when I first wore them is that they didnt provide enough arch support for my very high arched feet. I simply placed arch supports inside and it did the trick wonderfully. I love love love these shoes and would buy them again!

I became a fan of Garmont after buying these boots. They are very light and comfortable. It is also a vegan product, which is important for me. I wish Garmont make more vegan shoe models.

This is a great pair of vegan hiking boots, which are incredibly hard to find at an afforadble price. They are sized exactly (meaning you don’t have to buy a size up or down). I highly recommend slowly breaking them in before any trek. They pinch my heels quite a bit, so I have to wear thick socks and a bandaid once in a while, but they are strong, comfortable, and warm. The slightly high ankle provides support, and they do appear to keep the water out of the shoe. When they finally bite the dust, I will be buying another pair.
