| on my second pair, the first de-laminated first week I had them. Montrail replaced them and low and behold the same thing happened again. There is a plastic-y material that goes around the bottom portion of the upper and this has de-lamed on both pairs. Can't recommend. |

| This is a provisional review as I've used this shoe on a few day hikes, some scrambling on local crags and an overnight. I like them a lot---good support, excellent breathability, great sole and in many respects they feel like Hardrocks with a higher cut---but with better rubber. They are not so approach shoe oriented as the Montrail CTC, lacking it's Gryptonite rand and beefier sidewalls but it makes up for this by being a more ventilated shoe. The mesh uppers seem to dry out pretty quickly, an attribute I value. The higher mid ankle cut offers some degree of support that will be appreciated both in rugged terrain and on long thru-packs. The stretchy collar helps to keep debris from getting into the shoe. Some people may not like it's relative tightness but it's a matter of personal taste, I think.
Not an extremely wide toebox, in the Montrail way, but well protected. Heel counter and box lovely for my narrow heels. Materials seem well chosen for both lowish weight and good durability.
I will be using them a lot on my longer distance UL fastpacks and I expect them to do very well for my brand of often off-trail, light mountaineering oriented kind of trips. I think that the Outdoor equipment media has for once, gotten it right with their laudatory reviews. |

| Montrail Namche 06-03-07 |

| I purchased the Montrail Namche hoping for a Hardrock-type hiking shoe with a little more ankle support. First impression out of the box: they run small. I usually wear a Men's 11, but I had to return the 11 for an 11.5 before I could start hiking in them. After 3 weekend trips: Same great Hardrock sole, light weight, drains great, excellent support for my ankles, which for me, means my knees don't take as much abuse. I have decided to use these boots with Superfeet insoles for my Oregon-WA PCT hike this summer. Only complaint: the "celery" color = yellow!! No matter, they'll be filthy dirty soon enough. |

| Say goodbye to blisters. These shoe need no break-in time and are so ventilated that your feet will not sweat in them. They are very light and comfortable.
Buy one size larger than your normal size.
Only complaint: These are no good when it is raining. They filter water right into the shoe. It would be nice if montrail developed a thin lightweight, gore-tex type liner that you could slip into these shoes when the weather turns. |

| These are the most comfortable hiking shoes I have. I have bought 3 pairs1 Most importantly, these shoes give more SUPPORT than any I have bought which gives me the ability to hike and walk more! They seem to run a tab bit short but other than they are the BEST! |

| lightweight, but run small 06-30-08 |

| Pro's- Lightweight, breathable, great cushion and good support.
Cons- run a bit narrow & small. Also the inserts arch seems a bit too far rearward.
I normally wear a 10.5-11 (depending on fit of shoe) & had to size up to 11.5. So, I'd say go a full size up.
I put in the footbed from my old vasque's plus some lightweight smartwool socks (or defeet) and all was right with the fit. Still tight over the arch with thick socks, but these are good warm weather hikers. I haven't put a lot of hiking time on these, so we'll see about longevity. |

| My second pair, light durable, one pair to wear daily and the other for backpacking. The shoe went from light hiker of the year 2007 (outdoor magizine) to discontinued. It's a 5 for me. |

| I wanted to like this boot, I really did. Unfortunately I have flat feet and the arches in these boots were so high that they were very uncomfortable. Can't say I really blame the boots for that. Other than that problem they looked like they'd be a winner. |

| I was hearing the shoes size was running small but the size 8 Namches fit the same as my size 8 Torres, size 8 Cirrus or my size 8 Mountain Mists. If you are used to wearing Montrails buy the size you normally wear.
I have a thin heel and ankle but the front of my foot is kinda wide. Montrail has been the only footwear I can wear since I found my first pair of Torres. The Namche is no different, they fit me perfectly. The shoes breath really well and should help keep the funk from clearing out shelters.
Durability? I know the outsole will last forever. I don't know about the upper, it probably isn't the most durable but that is something I am willing to sacrafice a little bit of to make it lightweight.
The bombay brown is more like a red which is okay but a real brown would look awesome IMO.
Great shoe!

| After about a week of wear, shoe feels good as far as support and comfort. There is a lot of mesh on the sides and over the toes, so it's pretty cold if you hike in sub-freezing temps without a thick sock. Doesn't say this anywhere in the description, but otherwise very comfy and protective. Yes, this shoe does run small, about a half-size. I usually wear Men's US size 11 in brands like Nike, etc. but had to get an 11.5 with this shoe for the same fit. Relatively low arches in this shoe as well. |

| I picked up the Namches because I love my Torres, and needed something lighter. The Namches seem to have solid construction. I wonder about the exterior mesh, but haven't had any problems yet. They breathe well. I have a wide foot, and the boots don't pinch anywhere. They're a little more red than brown. So far I'm very happy. These boots fit the bill. |

| The first pair of Montrail Namche boots I received had a manufacturer's defect with the exterior mesh, but by using backcountry.com's helpful return policy I was able to put myself in a new pair quickly. The Namche was awarded the fastpacking boot of the year and it does indeed provide a nice combination of stability and speed. The boot/shoe wears comfortably and provides enough ankle support to allow me to safely run along rocky trails with a pack. I also wear these for hiking with a pack and one of my boys on my shoulders (15-20 lbs. for the pack and 35-45 lbs. per child). The fit is close with no pinching - comfortable and stable. The mesh design helps keep my feet cooler, too. I would recommend this boot and would buy them again. |

| these are great priced hiking boots and they sure perform up to the standars of the desertic mountains of norhtern Mexico. Or so my son tells me since I did not get to use them. These boots come a whole size smaller so order big. I am size 12-12.5 so I ordered half size bigger but still the size 13 where too tight for me! |

| Bought a pair of these and actually broke them in on the Fundy Footpath, a challenging mud-slog of a hike that features almost 50 km of hiking and 11,000 feet of elevation changes over roots, rocks, stream crossings, ravines, and off-camber trail. They aren't water proof, but they dry quickly, and not a single blister or foot problem along the whole hike. Highly recommended. |

| I give it high marks for lightness, fit and comfort. I cannot use a low-cut hiker because of ankle support issues, so when I saw that the Hardrock was being used as the base for the Namche, I had to try it. The pair I used for a month of perhaps 25 miles of hiking had a problem where the tough external mesh pulled away from the stitching outside of the tongue portion of the toebox on both shoes. I hope that the second pair does better, then I could easily rate them a 4 or 5. |

| Bought these to compliment my Scarpa waterproof boots. Wore them around town for a few days, but took them to Rocky Mountain National Park today for their first real trail/trial. Did over ten miles and they fit fine and were so comfortable that I forgot that they were new. The breathability, which is what I was looking for, worked like a charm. No more hot feet. Good support is there too, since the trail are as rocky as can be. I couldn't find anything to complain about. |

| First let me say that I have not put many miles on this hiking shoe as of this date. The only problem that I have encountered is the pull strap on the back pulled out the first time I tried to put my foot in the shoe. This is a minor problem and one that does not bother me much. The hiking shoe was rather stiff and will take some miles to get broken in; this could be a good thing, because hopefully that means it will last longer. I would recommend breaking this shoe in prior to attempting a 5 mile hike for sure. My other hiking boots (The North Face) where so comfortable when I first put those on, I went on a 10-mile hike the first time wearing. Like I stated earlier, I'm sure once the Namche Mid Hiking shoe gets broken in, I'm sure it will be a great addition to my hikes. |
