Can anyone chime in how durable these are?
Obviously nothing is bulletproof, and taking into account the price range, but how do these compare to say Merrell or Salomon etc for durability?
dtsavageOnly in Dark Grey/Blue/Black color. I'd pay the $18 extra for these, but that's a personal decision. Not a good deal if price is the only consideration, agreed.
I normally wear size 10.5 D or DD width- ordered size 11 and they fit just fine. The toe box was a little snug at first. They are light boots with good support and the soles do well over uneven terrain yet don't feel "flimsy". I'm glad I didn't pass these up.
I sized up half a size. I'm a 10.5E. I wear a standard 10.5 75% of the time in shoes. I consistently wear an 11 in Inov-8s, these were no different.
Bought these the last time they dropped. Tried them out in Antelope Canyon on sandtone. Love 'em.
Owned a few pairs of the older Roclite 295s, which are the equivalent of current generation Roclite 290s. Fit is similar, maybe a touch wider at the end of the shoe. I LOVE the gusseted tongue, it keeps out a ton of debris. I like the new tread pattern, grip is similar but it's releases debris a lot more easily. The only thing I can't attest to right now is how well it drains, feels like it might retain a bit more water than previous generations because the weave on the shoe is bit tighter than previous years. Upside of that is you get less sand/dust in your shoes.
The high ankle doesn't add a ton of support if you have weak ankles. Material just isn't that sturdy. It does create a higher barrier for debris getting into the shoe though. I would caution against going too hard in these if you're not used to minimalist shoes, but I have no problem backpacking in them.
Only major complaint is they have a bit more heel-toe drop (8 mm) than I like. If they were 0-4, they'd be perfect for me.
