Garmont Flash XCR Hiking Boot
This is my third pair of Garmont hiking boots and I love them. I put a lot of trail miles on these boots in New England and the mountains of Idaho. They are the most comfortable fit out of the box I have ever experienced and the ergonomic design they put into them really makes a difference. For example, the way the tounge is structured keeps it in place--it has never shifted on me. The way the toebox is constructed is much better for my forefoot, my little toe has room as do all the other toes--and their ability to move keeps my feet warm and confortable. I have narrow heels as well and the boot does not slip in the heel as many other boots will. I have never experienced a hot spot or pressure point in these boots. They have also kept my feet dry and warm regardless of conditions (three season use). The Goretex really works in these boots.

I do put a better orthotic in them--they come with a very basic insert and I prefer one with more heel cushion and a stronger arch support. The uppers have proven to be very durable--I have simply walked the bottoms off of my first two pair.

I have recommended them to adults and boys involved in scouting and everyone that has a pair loves them. The only caution I give is that this model is a little light for serious backpacking (which should be obvious since they are sold as a hiker). I use them for hiking with a lumbar (fanny) pack and they are superlative.

Fit is everything
This is my second pair of Garmont Flash hiking boots. I am very satisfied with this boot. They are lightweight but supportive enough for a couple of days of backpacking. But, the most important thing is COMFORT. These boots fit me. They are fairly narrow towards the heel but have a roomy toebox so that my toes don't get crushed on the down hills. Very comfortable.

Very comfortable boot
I had never owned a Garmont boot before this purchase, but decided to give it a try when it was on sale for $40 on Amazon.com (hard to beat Gore Tex + Vibrom sole for $40). This boot is very comfortable and felt nearly broken-in from day one. It looks good, too.

I read two reviewers on other sites who had a problem with the sole separating from the shoe after light use, but I haven't experienced that after a month of wearing them nearly every day. If you're skeptical, wait for a good sale.
