I just wore my Lowas on a loop hike of Mt. Chocorua NH, it was pretty brutal in places and there was quite a bit of water from recent rains. The Vibram soles did exactly what you’d expect, they can’t violate the laws of physics so you will have the occasional slip on wet rocks or roots but man, do they stick to rock. The only problem I have with them is with the lacing system. The first 4 eyelets have ball bearings so it’s easy to over tighten the toes, what I found works well to keep from doing that is tying a half knot between the toe eyelets and the first pair of hooks. The laces are plenty long to put a half knot or 2 where you don’t want the laces in one spot to be over tightened by pulling the laces above them. So I did end up with a couple blisters, but that’s my fault and not the boots. I was getting impatient and just wanted to get going and obviously one boot wasn’t right LOL.
