Yo… Kendall… nice review. These are fairly similar to my Garmont Endorphins, which also have reversed lower buckles. Thinking about it, the reversed buckles reduces the chance that your buckle will get released by a branch or something while going through tight brush (a.k.a. the carwash).

It also pulls the lower shell in a more anatomical fashion. If you look at your forefoot, it’s sloped towards the outside of your foot. You want to reduce volume where volume needs reduction (outside of the foot) and maintain volume where it’s already larger volume (inside of the foot). Make sense? Reversing the buckles reduces the volume in a more anatomical fashion.

Just some food for thought as you’re looking at different boot designs.
