I think you will end up liking those boots. I nearly bought a pair myself. I have a pair of Salomon running shoes which I wear for biking and a pair of Salomon hiking boots which I got about a week ago from Backcountry. Both are super breathable and uber light. I love my Salomons and look forward to wearing more of them in the future.

Great score on the price, btw.
