I love mine. They are mid light and the uppers/soles are properly designed for a mid light boot. Good compromise between grip, flex and durability. You want tough uppers, and sole durability you get heavy and stiffer. For hunting all but the gnasties of big mtn slopes in CO, the soles on these are GTG.
I used to run stiff full leather boots forever, too heavy. Too expensive. Then switched to Salomon X-ultra mid (very light) and found it doesn't provide enough support with a heavy pack. These have been my Goldilocks.
