I wore a pair of ecco trail runners while hiking the colorado trail, and picked these up thinking they might be an upgrade. But, honestly, these things won't last to see the trail--they're too comfortable, and I wear them every day!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-61431712932112645472011-01-26T13:01:12.738-07:002011-01-26T13:01:12.738-07:00Durability is excellent.

At the GoLite booth at OR they showed me a pair with 500 miles of mixed road and trail use by Cathy O"Brian former US Olympic marathoner and wear looked minimal. Keep in mind she is light in weight.Mine are showing no wear at all after 50 miles of mixed use. <br />If you are going on month long hikes day in day out I think you may find the Bondi-B or the other new model the Combo XT which looks like the Mafate with the sole of the Bondi a better choice. The sole does not have as much of a profile as the GoLite but I was told it is more durable than the Mafates. On roads the Mafate outer sole lugs wore quickly to smooth in the toe area although I am still happily running roads in them, Not sure on grip of the Bondi or Combo XT till I try them but might be slick if you except lots of mud. Dry sandy surfaces and dry rocks should be fine. Nothing beats the day in day out comfort.Sam Winebaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17969086391170473784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-28780213807375492952011-01-26T12:34:50.668-07:002011-01-26T12:34:50.668-07:00How are the flash lites working out for you?

How do you think the Bondi-b Hoka would work as a hiking shoe? <br /><br />Interesting blog, thanks.Carternoreply@blogger.com
