It was so convenient! Too bad they just don't last. I have used my pair on 3 short trips over the summer. Just eight days of hiking, less than 100 miles in the Sierras, the foam has cracked and the cleats are coming off the sole. Super disappointed. They were more comfortable on my foot than the Peregrine 7's (which always left me with little hotspots) and I would have bought more pairs if I thought they would last longer.
