Montrail Namche Hiking Boot - Men's

 Brand : Montrail
Item : MON0058
The Montrail Namche Hiker has the brain of a trail runner with the body of a hiking boot—you can take it anywhere. The Namche's high-cut ankle gives you excellent lateral support on scree slopes or off-camber jaunts. While the Namche Boot may look like an all out hiking boot, its weight conscious design will have you wondering why your haggard, old trail runners aren't high cut too. The Namche's Integrafit lasts ensure a comfortable fit and have roomy toe boxes with a snug forefoot. This way, when you're heading down the Bright Angel trail, your toes won't jam into the front of the shoe, yet the fit will remain snug. These Montrail hiking boots also have lightweight protection plates to bolster torsional rigidity.

Montrail Namche Hiking Boot - Men's



poor quality
on my second pair, the first de-laminated first week I had them. Montrail replaced them and low and behold the same thing happened again. There is a plastic-y material that goes around the bottom portion of the upper and this has de-lamed on both pairs. Can't recommend.


Probably my new go-to Long Distance Thru-packing shoe
This is a provisional review as I've used this shoe on a few day hikes, some scrambling on local crags and an overnight. I like them a lot---good support, excellent breathability, great sole and in many respects they feel like Hardrocks with a higher cut---but with better rubber. They are not so approach shoe oriented as the Montrail CTC, lacking it's Gryptonite rand and beefier sidewalls but it makes up for this by being a more ventilated shoe. The mesh uppers seem to dry out pretty quickly, an attribute I value. The higher mid ankle cut offers some degree of support that will be appreciated both in rugged terrain and on long thru-packs. The stretchy collar helps to keep debris from getting into the shoe. Some people may not like it's relative tightness but it's a matter of personal taste, I think. Not an extremely wide toebox, in the Montrail way, but well protected. Heel counter and box lovely for my narrow heels. Materials seem well chosen for both lowish weight and good durability. I will be using them a lot on my longer distance UL fastpacks and I expect them to do very well for my brand of often off-trail, light mountaineering oriented kind of trips. I think that the Outdoor equipment media has for once, gotten it right with their laudatory reviews.


Montrail Namche
I purchased the Montrail Namche hoping for a Hardrock-type hiking shoe with a little more ankle support. First impression out of the box: they run small. I usually wear a Men's 11, but I had to return the 11 for an 11.5 before I could start hiking in them. After 3 weekend trips: Same great Hardrock sole, light weight, drains great, excellent support for my ankles, which for me, means my knees don't take as much abuse. I have decided to use these boots with Superfeet insoles for my Oregon-WA PCT hike this summer. Only complaint: the "celery" color = yellow!! No matter, they'll be filthy dirty soon enough.
