I use to go to the rock gyms and rent a pair of shoes 'cause I was too lazy to buy some. These shoes attacted me cause they were cheap and comfy. That's what I got. They work great too. I think the smear isn't as good as it could be, but I climb on sandstone that crumbles under my shoes, so it could be that too.
Either way, it's still a good shoe for the price. Also, no more foot cramps from tight shoes.

I bought this boot about June 2009. They fit nice and tight right out of the store. After my usual unorthodox break-in period (I wear them around town un-laced as an urban shoe), they sat well on my feet. Everyday when I put on my boots (I work for a natural resource agency), it feels like a brand new pair of boots. The cushion has stayed firm. The interior and exterior have held together well. The stitching has been outstanding. The leather has not worn thin (maybe because I actually take care of my boots). As I get older and start comparing other boots that I have considered buying, I really appreciate the low shoe box and the almost lace-to-toe design. For those of you that wear leather firefighting boots, lace-to-toe gives a significant amount of freedom and comfort around the top of your foot across the big toe bone opposite of the ball of your foot (hey, I am not a doctor and don't know all of the appropriate terms).My only negative critique is that I have outworn the exterior soles. I looked at getting them resoled and the cost was not reasonable to buying a new pair....so I am buying a new pair. My only general critique with all boot makers is that I wish to see a better pair of arch supports or provide a discount voucher for arch supports when you a $200+ pairs of boots.
The last time that I have been so satisfied with a boot and that I bought new back-to-back pairs was the Merrell Chameleon (all-leather full ankle) backpacking boot. For those of you that know that model, it was a very long time ago since that boot was made.
I am just starting to see wear on where I pull the shoelaces around the ankle. This boot has upheld to the daily abuse that I do to it. It has been a great boot and I recommend it to everyone. This is the best boot I have used in many years.
