With full confidence, I can say that this is a great shoe, worth its price. I bought it on sale, but I wouldn't have regretted buying it at the regular price. Above all, it's lightweight, breathable, and well-made. Reinforced construction, a good sole that holds well on various surfaces. In case anyone's wondering what kind of Vibram is used—it's Vibram S1421. The grip is a tad worse than Megagrip, but the lifespan is definitely longer, definitely a mix for tough use. The cushioning and the self-cleaning capability of the sole make a real difference. As for the membrane, Gore-Tex Extended Comfort works well in the field or during demanding activities: dry feet, not overly hot. I'll still test the shoe in the mountains, but I guess it will do just fine. There's some ankle support, and the Lenzi Perspair upper with reinforced toes is a great addition. One downside—the shoes needed to be broken in, at least for me; they were a bit tight around the ankles. Maybe it's because of the anatomical shape, I don't know. Anyway, they adjusted after about a week and now they're great. I recommend them.
