Short story: I gave myself a bunch of stress fractures in my right foot doing a ruck program in these. My foot being scrunched up coupled with a long, heavy ruck was a magical combo for a world of pain.

These boots make you money!!! I don't recall if I got mine wide or not...but I hiked Banff (no ruck) and didn't have any complaints.

And I figure there are some boots that are good.. and free. But buy away, Mr Rich Guy! Your Green Slips will pay for whatever you want.
