Very comfortable right out of the box. On the firmer side in terms of cushioning like many European products. The stitching accuracy is not quite as crisp as some of my other boots such as Scarpas or Zamberlains that I own but I doubt that will impact functionality in any discernible manner. I am already looking for my next pair of Hanwags!
