| I gotta give to Kayland, this is a fantastic boot. I checked all kinds of reviews over several months before buying this boot. It was one of the only boots that the Backpacker reviewers had no complaints about. Backpacker said it was one of the most comfortable boots they had ever worn & voted it the #1 boot of all the boots they tested. First of all, the boot isn't so high off the ground, so there is very little tendency to allow your ankle to twist over, that was important to me. Second, the boot fits like a glove everywhere it should, with plenty of room in the toe box to wiggle your toes, no scrunching here, no banging the front of the boot, and plenty of room above your toes to move them up and down as you need to for comfort. Third, the comfort of the boot and the footbed support is fantastic. I have carried loads from 35Lbs. to 75Lbs. in my Osprey 110L pack in total comfort at either end of the weight spectrum. If your legs are strong enough to carry and support the loads then these boots will get you there without aching feet at the end of a long hiking day. The support around the collar of the boot isn't so stiff that it makes it uncomfortable, but still does the job good enough. I've got probably around 350-375 miles on the treads, and haven't seen any noticeable wear on them. They are still like new. Most of the trails I hike on are established, semi-rough at times but nothing extreme. I've owned other boots that made my feet hurt at the end of the day with blisters, and aching all over, but not these boots. For me they had zero break-in time and feel the same as they did the day I pulled them out of the box and started hiking with them. Their just awesome! Zappos is simply fantastic also and the they got them to me really fast. I'll never buy any boots anywhere else except Zappos. Thank you Zappos! | |

| Great boot, light on the ankle support. Great boot. It fits nice and snug around the foot. Made of light leather upper, yet I get the feeling that they will be very durable. Here’s my gripe. Poor ankle support. The material around the collar is very thin and when you try to wrench the color tight around your ankles, it sometimes pinches without adding much support. I do contract field work for the Forest Service here in the Black Hills and I'm very dependent on ankle support. If you can live without ankle support, you couldn't get a better boot. It holds your foot firmly in the foot bed, excellent traction, very waterproof, well built, and medium lightweight. | |

| Boots feel great...but the sizing seems to be at minimum a half size to full size off. I ordered a 9 1/2 and I'm a woman and typically wear a womans 11. I've been wearing a 9 1/2 mens for years and this is the first time it's been too small. I also have very narrow feet and these fit me perfectly. While that's great that's also rare in mens shoes. So, in a nut shell the boot feels like a dream, but is sized larger than it is, and is quite narrow. I will be order a 1/2 size up in the hopes that it works. | |

| Kayland Vertigo High product review - Excellent construction, obviously a quality product. I liked the features advertised and other online reviews indicated it had an average fit. I have an average foot and found the fit perfect. did a moderate hike with the boot right out of the box and had no problems. I wear it with a thin sock liner and light hiking sock. Can snug down the lacing for no heal lift, generous toe box allows wiggle room and circulation for toes. Can see why this product has received the awards it has. | |

| Great boot, great fit - These boots went straight from the box to the trail. Fit was great. Toe box was very roomy. They now have about 25 miles of hiking in NJ winter mud & streams and have kept me dry and comfortable. Event liner is great - helps sweat evaporate and keeps the stream water in the stream. Highly recommended! | |

| Vertigo High - Super fit and comfort right out of the box. These boots walk very nicely and have great traction on ice and rock. Great fit, supple, yet supportive. Roomy toe box, great support of heel area. Best boots I've ever owned. | |

| Best Boot EVER! I've worn these 9 hours a day for the past three months, over various terrain and my feet never felt better. Waterproof, breathable and comfortable right out of the box, can’t ask for anything better. | |

| Great boot, light and stiff. I am 200 lb backpacker and it can take the abuse I give them, event is great, more breathable than Gore-Tex. Very little break in time. | |

| Do not stop at A...go to Z for Zappos - First things first. Zappos is absolutely the best thing going. Start there first and hope they have what you are looking for. That being said... on to the boots. I had a very hard time finding the right size. Luckily Zappos never complained about my numerous returns. After much consideration, I picked what I thought was the right size. Several sort walks of a few miles each convinced me otherwise. These boots are a very difficult fit properly. They probably work best for narrow feet. Mine are a D width. They are quite stiff and have a hard feel. Would they break in to feel better? Maybe, but unfortunately I do not think I can wear them enough to find out. The fault is mine alone. Zappos is tops!! | |
