THE GREAT OUTDOORS: light, durable, good grip

After a year and half's use of these boots (except in summer, when they are a little warm) I'm still as impressed as I was when I reviewed them back in January 2021. They
are lightweight, comfortable, supportive and have good cushioning and great grip. They're tough too, with little sign of wear. The graphene in the sole is there to enhance
durability, and it does. I was pushing it a bit using these boots on this trip, however. They're not intended for winter mountain use. As it was, they gripped fine on the snow, and a hard toe bumper meant I could kick steps occasionally. They were fine with microspikes during the descent too. Indeed, the only slight problem was that when walking across big snowfields could feel the cold as the uppers are quite thin. If there was
any more snow on the hills I wouldn't wear them, preferring thicker, warmer boots that would work better with crampons; but on this trip they were just adequate.
