Zamberlan 215 Salathe' GTX RR

Awesome not Perfect

I was looking for a pair of shoes to replace my Scarpa Zen Pros. Something tough and durable with great traction. The Salathes are that shoe. They cost quite a bit more but not so bad when you take 25% off. The slip on style is a nice fit and keeps gravel out. The sole is great, nice holds on trails and rocks. They're not perfect because they came with very thin shoelaces that don't stay tied or hold the shoes in place very well. I replaced them immediately. Also, the front of the shoe, where your toes bend, has a wide cut. It's hard to explain exactly but (I think) that flexing will create a wide crease the longer I wear the shoes. I don't know the design reason for that feature but it would be better without it.

Hiking shoes

Great hiking shoes! Very little break-in time needed, great service as usual from go hunt

Somewhat narrow for a wide foot. But they seem to stretch after wearing them a bit. But overall a solid easy to put on shoe.
