For the outdoor enthusiast, or the West Coaster looking for an escape from the rain, the 978 offers superior cushioning and a durable GORE-TEX® lining.

The higher cut also gives the 978 more ankle support than a standard hiking shoe.

A: Hello Larry,
I actually thought that you should have received them by now! I’m very happy to hear that so far the fit is meeting you expectations, let’s see how they feel in the next few days and we’ll go from there. If I don’t hear from you good luck on your hike!
Thanks, Alex
Q: I'm looking for some hiking boots in a 12B size. Currently I'm using some "Dunham Cloud 9" boots. They have been fantastic and I would love to get another pair; however, they don't seem to be made any more. Can you recommend something with a mid ankle height? I also need a high arch support.

A: Hello Larry,
I apologize for not getting to you sooner but I wanted to make sure that the 'Dunham Cloud 9' did not have a new version of sorts. After taking a look I feel the best one to try would be the 'MW978GT'. I would say this model has by far been our top seller for the past 3 years in its category. It's going to provide you with an amazing fit especially if we need the narrow! It is of course 100% waterproof with the Gortex lining. I have one in stock at the moment in your size, let me know your thoughts or if you have any questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to email me or call me. I also wanted to mention that if you would like to order this shoe you can via phone or online. Shipping is free and if there's any reason the shoe doesn't meet your needs then we will give you a full refund and the return shipping is on us! I hope this answers your question, have a great day and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Thanks, Alex

- NB 978 insole Review by Normand
-
Just bought NB 978. Good comfort and look. The fit of NB always perfect.
Only downside, the insole is quite cheap. i recommend NB 978 but expect extra $ to replace insole.

Q: Hi Alex, I received the MW978GT's today and they feel really good on my feet. I'm going to test wear them in the house for a couple of nights just to make sure. I have a hike scheduled for the weekend so they arrived just in time. Thanks for the help.
