Writing reviews for shoe/boots is always going to be a subjective thing as everyone's foot will be different and what is comfortable for one will be awful to another. Please take it that I find these shoes a comfortable fit for my foot, but what I really liked was the stiffness - just enough to support, but not so stiff that they were uncomfortable (like the Haglofs Crag GT). I do not normally go for a Gore-Tex shoe, but I have found these to be fantastic in the wet conditions over the winter period without super heating my feet. Lastly I found the sole super grippy without getting clogged with mud etc. In fact I now were these shoes as a everyday shoe. My only criticism are the laces that do not seem to stayed tied, but I should really learn to tie a double bow... If this shoe fits your foot, then you will love how it performs.
