I bought my first pair of these in November 2004. I climbed a peak with a 30 mile round trip on my first outing with no blisters - I wore them to Aconcagua for the approach, and covered over 1000 miles in 2005 and 2006, when I had them re-soled. They're waterproof if treated with goop, and they feel great and comfortable. I've climbed everything from CLASS 4 to low CLASS 5 rock with these. The only problem - the end patches on the boots and the threads tend to come loose, but I've had them repaired with no problems. All in all, a great boot and I now own 5 new pairs in addition to my original pair.
