Surprisingly comfortable for weekend hiking - Topo Athletic Trailventure 2 Hiking Boots - Men's

Never had heard of Topo Athletics... especially since I try to keep my money local (US purchases to US manufactures), but in this area of purchasing it's nearly impossible to find a boot or shoe made in the US.
I've hiked about 25 miles (three separate hikes) in these Topo Lightweight boots. Very comfortable, fit well, like the extra room in the toe box. Did a fairly wet and muddy trail just recently and these boots kept my feet dry, no blisters or sore toes, good traction and they have the ability to shed mud and dirt easlie. Thinking about getting my wife a pair.
