Anything but typical. Most of us are used to Nike's athletic alchemy of leather, mesh and rubber in their superbly engineered performance footwear, which is why the all-leather upper on the Air Karst Z is such an unusual standout. The waterproof leather upper was specifically design with minimal piecing to enhance durability and long wear. Inside you'll find all the comforts you expect from Nike outdoor footwear--a gusseted and padded tongue, padded collar, full length EVA midsole and Air-Sole heel. It's sort of like going back to an earlier age of classic hiking without the hassle of enduring blistering break-in sessions and agonizing hot spots. Wear it in the woods or down to the coffee shop.
Good hiker as well as day-to-day.
This is a great boot. I had an earlier version of this boot (with a blonde sole) that was good as well. This version improves on that one by having one less pair of "wrap-around" lace guides. That makes these easier to put on.
I hope Nike continues to keep at least one style of hiking boot in their ACG collection that is like this one. I prefer the neat, clean, leather without all the fancy patterns or odd sole designs often found on some of their other creations.
Great boot
I have had this boot for a period of about 1 1/2 years. This boot holds up well,is non-marking and is confortable for every day wear. I am back to buy a second only because it stains and the exterior is almost impossible to clean.
Good dry caving boot
The blonde sole version of this boot is a good high traction, non-marking caving boot for southwest caves. It's great for Lechuguilla Cave.

Good Day hike shoe
I have this shoe and it is a good day hike shoe not better than the nike acg air tumalo but good none the less. MY shoe size is 14 and this shoe is available at nike.com in sizes 6-15.
not available in my size
It looks like a really nice shoe... too bad I can't get it in my size.... 13 would be nice!
Great, lightweight
Great lightweight boot for all around general hiking with med/light pack. Great performer!
Comfortable but falling apart
I bought these for my husband in March, 2004. He put them on and felt like they were made for his feet, no break in needed. He has been wearing them moderately since then (plenty of walking, no actual hiking) and now the stitching is coming apart on both boots at the ball of the foot area. Not sure if a shoe repair shop can fix them. Very disappointing.
