THE GOOD
The Pulse II is perfect for day hiking and versatile enough to support up to a 25 pound pack for a multi-day backpacking trip.
THE BAD
While it is super comfortable, it will be a little too soft for extreme backpacking trips. If you are taking a heavy backpack, the Pulse II may not have enough ankle support.
THE FIT & COMFORT
This is one of the most comfortable boots available and the Pulse II is famous for it. This boot requires zero break-in time.
THE PRICE
List price - $135.00
Average price - $109.95
OTHER NOTES
Smoke (the rich tan color) is the most popular color style and almost impossible to find for under $124.95.
Available Sizes: Men's 7-12, 13, 14, 15
