This is the third pair of CMP Rigel shoes I’ve bought. Incredible build quality, lightweight, waterproof (within reason—they’re not wellington boots), a very good fit, comfortable for long walks, good grip on rocks and rough terrain, and very good shock absorption on uneven roads.

I bought these specific shoes and after half a day of wearing them, I took them to the cobbler to fix an incredible manufacturing flaw. The back plastic heel strap leaves a rigid step inside the shoe, resulting in it hitting my foot from the first few steps. Coming from the Salomon Helios, which were top-notch (the company no longer makes them), I was disappointed with this purchase. I also wonder about some people who found them comfortable; personally, these shoes hit me like army boots.

Excellent construction quality, very durable shoe, and very hard materials. It seems to be much more resistant than the Columbia ones I have bought for hiking. They are fully waterproof and very comfortable. The size is a little smaller than it should be, in Columbia I wear 47 and in CMP I wear 48.

After two years of daily use on trails, they gave up. They were my first hiking shoes and I believe they were worth the money and more. So the second pair will also be CMP. I don't give them 5 stars because the first signs of wear started early, and sometimes they weren't so stable in slippery areas. Maybe more well-known brands (and more expensive models) don't have such problems.

I won't start huge analyses, but this shoe is perfect for hiking, don't hesitate to get it. Whatever you wear in athletic shoes, get this one in this size!

It is a hard shoe, if you don't want it for soft ground (slightly muddy/snowy trails) you may need to change the insole. It is waterproof, but because it is not goretex, the foot does not breathe well and it is quite warm, not suitable for summer. However, they are very durable shoes.

I have been wearing them daily for about six months now. They are comfortable shoes in general, I have no complaints. They are waterproof to a reasonable extent (I wear them while riding a motorcycle all day, so they have been exposed to rain), typical low-cut outdoor shoe design. The only objection is that early on in their use, several of the lace holes tore, so now if I want to tighten the laces all the way, I have to be cautious.

Update 11/22/18:
In the end, it was not a very successful purchase. The shoes, in less than a year of use, fell apart. The lace holes tore far beyond the hole, the interior in the heel area wore out, and the tread became flat like slippers. I am changing my rating to two stars as they turned out to be mediocre.

I added a photo showing how they turned out.

One of the best shoes I have worn. Walking 20 kilometers a day on rough terrain and my foot doesn't feel a thing. Worth trying.
