I bought these some years ago and only wore 1-2 times. They are a comfortable and well-built trail shoe by Scott. I am downsizing my shoe collection so these ones that haven't been worn much have to go. They have a nice rocketed ride with great traction from a Vibram Megagrip outsole. The sole also has a rock plate built in for protection on tough trails. The upper is reinforced with a sort of plasticky web that is supposed to make them hard to puncture as well as add some water resistance. Really good shoes if you need a hiking shoe or trail runner.
