Well built but not as comfortable in the toe box as I'd expected. Returned them after determining I had the right size, but the toe box was a bit too constraining for my feet.
ProsDurable, Great Value, Comfortable, Performing as Expected, looks just fine too.
This is my second pair of these shoes. The originals are still in fine shape, but I bought the added pair for future use in the event that LLBean discontinues the item. I wear them every day. Haven't used 'em in the mountains, but put 10 miles/day on them while on vacation in Boston. Very comfortable.
I tried many cheaper shoes, but nothing came close to these. I am about to order my 5th pair. The only thing I would change is the weight. They are a bit on the heavy side, but that weight probably contributes to the ruggedness these shoes have.
