Over the years, I have purchased exclusively Propet Cliff Walkers; however, in the past six months, Propet has raised the price for the cliff walker boots from less than $90 to now over $114. So I decided to try a pair of these and was pleasantly surprised. The fit was identical (11 X-wide) they are very comfortable to hike in, even with NO break in period. Right out of the box to the trails of Shoshone National Forest.Now, I'll see how well they wear; especially, on concrete/black top surfaces. I'll try and come back and add to this review.Back with a wear update. So far, after many miles hiking dirt/rock trails as well as many, many miles walking on asphalt/concrete paths in the local parks I have NOT been able to wear out the heels. Usually, the outer part of the heel wears faster; however, with this boot, the soles are showing wear and the heel while showing wear still has some decent treat left on the outside of the heel. In fact, I believe this might be the first boot I have had that the heel will outlast the remainder of the sole and the upper part of the boot.
