I purchased this shoe after reading several reviews. I went in thinking I wanted the hiking boot but after trying on the shoe, I was sold. I then proceeded to hike Capitol Reef NP and Grand-Staircase/Escalante Monument for 5 days. These shoes never caused any discomfort, stayed cool and snug despite all the traversing up and down trails and slot canyons. I was very surprised by the ease of motion and grip these shoes provided. I trail run and appreciate a flexible shoe, these Montara ll's offered me this on my scrambling hikes. I would recommend these to hard core hikers/climbers or the weekend warriors.
