I just noticed that Moosejaw has
Montrail Men's Hardrock on sale
at 20% off. These are my favorite hiking shoes. I tried on a pair and once I went for a hike in them, I vowed I'd get a second pair once I found them on sale. As soon as I saw a 20% off sale, I nabbed a second pair and then a third.

They are reasonably light, have plenty of room in the toe box. I don't have wide feet, but I find that after a lot of miles with my toes held close together, I'm prone to blisters and these give me enough room (I also fit well in New Balance and Asics if that helps). Also, they have a sort of plastic "shield" under the forefoot which I think helps a lot on rocky trails. I've hiked up to 55 miles in a single day with these and they've been great (though I won't pretend my feet weren't tired that day!).

Only some sizes are available at the 20% off deal (2005 models I guess) and once they're gone, they offer the size at $95. Right now they have sizes 7-9 at the sale price. I think they size pretty true (in other words you don't need to size up or down).

I don't know as I would recommend that anyone buy hiking shoes online that they haven't tried, but most people I know really like these (your mileage may vary of course). The Goretex version is my wife's favorite shoe because she doesn't like wet feet. Several friends swear by them, but obviously, if they don't fit your foot, they won't be good. Moosejaw has a good return policy (you can return anything as long as it's in sellable condition), but will have to pay return shipping.

If you try these, please leave a comment about your experience, good or bad.
