The Good:I love these boots. I wanted to wait a couple months after wearing them before leaving a review. Right out of the box they were very comfortable. I need good ankle support and the cable system manufactured in these is brilliant. The fact that you can adjust the tension on your ankles is genius. I wear all my hiking boots for work in construction as a carpenter.These boots are super light and wear more like a sneaker. I have another pair of Keens that are an actual mid-work boot. They are leather and the uppers are very tough, but overall quite heavy.So far the soles on these are perfect for outdoor work especially when walking through a lot of crushed stone and having heavy rough surfaced objects rub against the upper part of the boot. Abrasion resistance has been very good. I've yet to have them submerged in water, but so far no moisture inside when exposed to wet muddy conditions or working in downpours.The Bad:In less than one week two of the quick lace hooks snapped off. Apparently something heavy leaned against the right boot and pressed the two upper "hooks" inward, crushing in on the lace and preventing me from unlacing the boot at the end of the day.I gently pried the first hook back just enough to free the lace and it snapped. I applied even less pressure on the second hook and it too snapped. This kind of ticked me off because I've had this happen before with other boots and I've always been able to simple pry the hook open back to its original shape without a problem. This particular boot was given hooks with a much less maluable metal.I was going to send them back after only a week but decided instead to order a set of cheap speed lace replacements. It cost me $12 but they're fixed. (see photo of right boot) However for a $160 boot I expected more.I would buy these again based on my experience so far. I usually buy two pairs of this type of boot every 18 months or so.Update 7/16/20:So unfortunately these boots have continued to not meet my expectations. Another hook snapped off on the other boot. This time simply while tightening them. (I don't have gorilla strength) so this was unfortunate.I also noticed after working a number of early mornings that simply walking around in wet grass (lawn height, not tall grass) left my socks quite wet. This really bummed me out because I had a whole day of work ahead of me and with the heat and humidity my feet stayed wet.I can't tell you how much I wanted these boots to be great because the fit and weight is perfect, but unfortunately I will not be purchasing them again. Hopefully I just got a bad pair, but then again maybe not.
