I ruined my hiking shoes right before a 2-month trip to Peru. After much research, the waterproof, weight, wider toe box, and aggressive tread on this shoe was what sold me. This has been my favorite shoe! I wore them around towns, 2 to 12-day backpacking trips--sometime in snow and rain, and up the volcano, El Misti. My feet felt great and I didn't get blisters.
