I have used the boots for a couple of years now and have found them comfortable and suitable for summer walking in hilly country. I would not use them for scrambling as I find them too flexible but would recommend them for long hill days in nontechnical terrain.

Good build quality. Light and fast shoe surprisingly comfortable from the start. Highly recommendable shoe. Ideal for spring/summer seasons.

As someone had previously mentioned, bit tight when first work on the width. They soon shaped to to my foot, whilst on a 8km hike.
Maybe better than my best Merrells.
The Gore-Tex really does work. Now waiting for the Summer to test the breathability.
The TX5 is also much too flexible and not crampon compatible. If it's a La Sportiva boot that you're interested in then have a look at the following options:
