I work for an outdoor adventure company and I'd say 3 quarters of our guides wear 5.10 and only the ones "in the know" wear Camp Fours. We spend most of our trips on volcanic sharp rocks and it's quite rare that a pair of 5.10s can last us more than 2 seasons. These push for 3 which is quite impressive. Lots of foam which could make the shoe quite hot in warm weather.
Great shoe and the sole has made a huge difference for me! I am one of those people who tends to slip and trip while hiking -- the Stealth rubber has given me a better grip and more confidence. I have worn these backpacking in the Beartooths (5 days), 13 days trekking in Nepal and the awful city streets in Kathmandu. This is my permanent go-to shoe.
Great shoes! They have a good fit, true to size, but I would recommend wearing them with a moderate to thick sock. The back of the shoe rubbed my ankle a little when I wore it with a thinner sock. When I wear them with my Thorlos, I have no problem with them and they feel good all day long. I've even gotten some compliments on how good they look. I haven't had a chance to wear them on a hike yet, but would definitely recommend them.
