Praise vs. Criticism
Very well made
However I didn't buy them. I take a 7 and usually buy Salomon 7 1/2 cos they are wife fitting. Tried a size 8 in these but they were way too narrow.

Sole out of line with upper !
Bought for lightweight use and developed ankle and knee problems . Put this down to old age(me not the shoe) and attended my physio for a going over . I've been seeing same guy for a number of years and he asked what was different as this was the first injury related reason for attending..subsequently asked me to bring the shoes next session .
Next time around he examined shoes.
After placing them on a table it was clear the sole and upper were badly out of line and caused the ankles to camber inwards..stopped wearing and the problem resolved itself
Dont know if these are a dud pair or this is Garmont "tech" would check them on table top straight out of the box guys beware.
What do you think about that?
This is what other customers say:
These have taken everything I've thrown at them in their stride, from climbing around Different to scrambling in the Cuillins and drinking and dancing! Well worth it and they come in Cobalt blue too!

I am owner of an older pair of red Dragontail MTN and i bought now the LTs (shark-taupe in excellent price...)
Very nice, normal fit to my -normal- feet (9.5)
its a little lighter than MTNs and a little softer than these, mostly because of the difference in stiffness of the Vibram sole ...
Very good and robust construction, seems that they will last for many years, like the MTNs...
Like MTNs i will use from time to time a good quality waterproofing spray and i hope that like the MTNs would be waterproof enough, but not perfect, like the GTX models.
Very nice lacing and easily adjustable to my feet...
very nice shoes for a survey engineer like me with two-three hours every day outside in all the terrains...
No negatives at all...
