I've had a pair of Patagonia Ultralight wading boots for two seasons now and use them exclusively for longer hiking missions. In that context they have done well.

After 6 or 7 pairs of Patagonia boots that wore out far too soon I've given up on them for daily work boots and now use the Simms Guide boots, but for the occasional longer hiking mission the Patagucci ultralights haven't let me down yet.
