'BRILLIANT QUALITY'
Strengths:
I have had my boots since Sept 1996 and they are still going well. Look after them using Nikwax.
Weaknesses:
Took a while to break in but I did use some Nikwax leather softener to help
Overall:
Would recommned them as they have lasted me so many years they work out very cost effective.

'DOES WHAT IT SAYS ON THE TIN'
Strengths:
A very comfy boot for low level walks or firm/level going, excellent cuff padding and sole flexy enough to afford great ride on low level trails. Wide fitting affords easy breaking in, speed lacing system is a peach. Mine have been through bogs, streams etc and, with treatment, have been amply waterproof. Build quality is excellent and generous rand affords good durability
Weaknesses:
The ankle support is low and ankle cuff padding is perhaps too soft, you're at risk of a twist on uneven rock, boulder field etc. Degree of sole flex may not afford enough assurance when scrambling.
Overall:
Great boot for it's intended use, but should not be relied upon to accommodate loftier ambitions.

'A GOOD QUALITY BOOT FOR EASIER TERRAIN.'
Strengths:
High quality of manufacture. Comfortable and no sweaty Gore-Tex.
Weaknesses:
Lack of ankle support and underfoot protection on rougher terrain.
Overall:
I've been using these boots since December '03, and I've found them comfortable out of the box. That said, I have experienced some foot fatigue when carrying backpacking loads, and I'd put that down to lack of stiffness under the ball of the foot.
