I bought a pair of these at an REI sale and have worn them indoors for several hours and they are very comfortable. I usually wear new boots in the house for several hours to get a feel for their fit and performance before taking them on a hike. That way if there are any issues they can be returned. I think they will perform well hiking and doing off trail climbing thru and on rock. These seem a little light for back packing as the soles are a little thin and the boot possibly too flexable. I will add details on how these perform ouside when I have a few miles on them.
