I never had a Blister in 5 years. Great fit for medium volume foot. That is all the good news. My boots seperated from the sole right behind the toes after a couple of hundred miles. I had them reglued but that only lasted for another couple hundred miles or so. I am in the market for new boots now since these boots have seperated almost the around and have become totaly non-waterproof. They also had poor traction, I busted my tail way too many times. I won't buy another pair.

My size 13 narrow feet really limit the boots I can choose from. However, I am on my second pair of Super Hikers and I recommend them highly. This new design with the extra padded tongue makes them comfortable right out of the box. I used my first pair for backpacking over the Rockies for two months and they were great. Had they not been stolen, I would probably still be wearing them. I am off to transverse Switzerland with my new pair in a month and I feel completely confident in their ability to support me over the Alps.

Wishing for beefier leather, I also tried the Wilderness by Merrell. I really didn't like them at all. In fact, I have considered the Wilderness a few times because I had a pair 16 years ago during an Outward Bound trip and I liked them back then. Now, however, they just seem too low, stiff, and generally uncomfortable.
If your unlucky enough to have clown feet like me, special order a pair of Super Hikers!

I've had these boots for 4 years and love them. I'm currently on my second resole and the boots get better with each hike. I use the boots for extended backpacking trips with very heavy loads on some extremely rough and rocky trails, peak scrambles ,and even strap on Grivel G-10 crampons when necessary to traverse consolidated snow fields in the high country. If you need a resole, contact www.rmresole.com. I've had coblers resole my shoes/boots for over 20 years and Rocky Mountain Resole doe the best work by a long shot.

I bought a pair of the Vasque Skywalker boots in 1988 and got good use from them. In 1998 the plastic eyelets had become brittle and started to break off the boots. I took them to a Vasque dealer and they sent them back to the company. Vasque gave me a full credit for the boot, which I use on the Super hiker. I used them for one season and love these boots.

I Rented a pair of these boots when I took my NOLS course this summer because all I have is a pair of midweight boots from vasque. I loved the boots, and wish I had bought them when I had the chance. We hiked well over a hundred miles on the course, and I had no blisters and saw virtually no wear by the end of the course.

I have worn my Super Hikers from N.C. to Montana from wet snow to powder,Ieven did a WI-3 ice climb in them (I dont recomend this). I have nothing but praise for these boots.

These are the most comfortable boots I have seen bar none. After about a week long break in period they are the only boots I want to wear anywhere. They are the most comfortable pair of footwear I own and I have quite a selection including some built for everyday comfort(Doc's), These put them to shame. A little expensive for wear around town but for backpacking they can't be beat, or I've yet to see their equal anyway. After a coat of nikwax they are completely waterproof. Great buy, better if you can find them on sale.

This is an up date on my eariler review .My feet grew one whole size in the last year (this , I am told is from age).I replaced my boots with the new style super hikers.I so far have an overall good impression of them.I very much like the new tongue. If you have a hard to fit foot try vasque.

I have the Vasque Sojourn GTX, which is the same as the Superhiker, except that it has a gortex stormstock. Overall, I am very pleased with these boots. Be sure to fit them carefully to the socks and footbed you plan to use. I use the Thorlo Trekker socks with Superfeet footbed (blue capsule). My normal street size is 8 Medium width. I purchased the boots in size 8 and 1/2 wide. With this combination, I am very satisfied with the fit. Virtually no break-in period is required. I have just finished using them over 35 miles on the AT in Georgia over 4 days in a variety of weather. Performance is excellent, with no blisters.

I just bought the Super Hikers for half off (205 to 105) since they are coming out with a new model. I wore them hiking three days in a row starting with the day after I bought them and they were great - no blisters and broke in rather easily.
