Speed ascent gtx hiking shoe - Salewa Speed Ascent GTX Hiking Shoe - Mens

These shoes are well made, and it is easy to adjust to the "rolling gate" system. However, I'm having trouble getting them broken in. First time out on a peak ascent in New Hampshire I returned with multiple blisters (10 miles + 3,000 ft elevation gain). The shoes claim to be "blister proof" with the right socks... Perhaps they will be once I get some more mileage on them, but I've been forced to switch back to an older pair of shoes for longer hikes in the mean time. I still have high hopes for the shoes... we shall see.
