Breaking In the Ridgeline: 30 Days on Trail

Every boot claims all-terrain until it meets actual terrain. We sent a pair of Ridgeline 8" Boots out with three different testers — a trail crew lead, a landscaper, and a weekend hiker — and asked them to log it for a month.

The consensus: the lugged sole held up on loose gravel far better than expected, and the break-in period was shorter than most leather boots in this class. Full notes and photos inside.
