I took these boots up Half Dome last week... they were a bit too much for that, really, but I didn't find them too heavy or hot. The fit was true to size. The soles were really, really grippy, and the ankle support was good, except that it sort of pinched at the ankle no matter how I laced them. The part that worried me about the quality of these shoes and how long they would last - perhaps it was just the shoes I ordered - was that the black, soft part around the ankle started coming apart after a few miles. Has anyone else had this problem? Anyway, I returned them, and I think I'll order another pair just to see if it was just the one I had. The price is right and the shoes were otherwise right as well.

I'm 5'4" and 115 pounds; I normally wear a size 4 and this 4 fits me. They only had the long length left, so I ordered that. I don't know if that's the reason why the fit is so loose - only the length of the hem and the height of the capris button should be affected, right? - but anyway, they're a bit boxy. They rise to just under the belly button, and the shorts looks all right. There's also a handy red zipper for the right side. The material is heavy and will survive a beating and be good for cool weather. The color isn't as black as it looks in the picture.
