コペック ミッド GTX ブーツ ウィメンズ

As a longtime lover of the Aerios series and notably the mid hiking boot, I’m a bit sad that these have essentially replaced them… I really wanted to love these too. Aesthetically they look pretty rad. But as far as overall performance and fit… not doing it for me. Here’s why: - Yes the sole is stiffer and definitely does “perform” better in shifting terrain as per description, so that’s a plus. But for me that was already accomplished with the Acrux TR which I much prefer as well. Overall, my feeling while wearing these is “clunky”. - the tongue and upper are a miss for me. There’s too much space on the sides of the tongue that allow water and rocks / debris to get in. That plus the loose lacing make anything off of manicured trails less enjoyable. Could benefit from extending the tongue and adding additional hooks for lacing. Because of this I feel like there’s very little ankle support, and you may as well just get the shoe. - the fit and break-in. Due to stiffness of sole they need longer to break in compared to Aerios but similar to Acrux TR. Many reviews suggest it’s a narrow fit, I didn’t quite feel that but I think the stiffness of the material maybe adds to that feeling. Again I realllly wanted to love these! But I’ll be waiting for the Aerios and Acrux series to return.
