"I love these boots! I have about 500 miles on them in two years. It takes bout 100 miles to break them in and then there is always traveling sore spots just when you think you are through with that. Have worn them in the cold and they are good to about 20 degrees but not colder."

"This is my 2nd pair of Alico boots. I have the Summits also. These boots are made in Italy and the sizes run a little narrow. I have a somewhat wide foot so I bought the extra wides and people with a normal width may opt for the medium to D width."

"When I first got these boots in the mail and opened the box the first thing that came to mind was Frankenstein, not because of how they look but because of the size of these boots. The boots in my opinion are beautiful, craftsmanship is wonderful. Unfortunately they are not colorful, besides the red laces, they are definitely not flashy, and chances are good that girls aren't going to be attracted banging on my door because of them."

"I am a guy who dislikes polymer guns, 4x4's with independent front axles, work wear that isn't made by Carhartt and plastic boots. I don't care if they are old school, that's what I am, old school. I love leather, nothing in the world wears, looks, or smells like it and these boots are leather."

"This is an old fashion boot, which explains its classic good styling, extraordinary build quality, and extreme discomfort. I've put over 1000 miles on my feet this year, and I am totally unsatisified with this shoe.
Out of the box the Alico is as stiff as a ski boot."

"I'd been looking at the ad for these boots at Sierra Trading Post but couldn't decide whether to spend the money for yet another ill-fitting boot that would gather dust in the closet and ultimately wind up at Salvation Army. Then I read Ron G. 's review and sizing recommendations."

"This is one big, heavy, serious, "old school" boot. . . and at a bargain price from Sierra Trading Post.
The New Guide is very old-fashioned, similar in design and construction to the old Fabiano mountaineering boots, with 3mm thick waxed Perwanger leather, a double-stitched Norwegian welt and big, thick Vibram Montagna outsole."

"As my father used to joke: "It's nice to see you get ahead -- you need one", which is how I felt when I was lucky enough to land these boots. We are talking absolutely top shelf quality Italian leather cobbler craftmanship. I'm not sure, but I believe that these boots may be a discontinued/closeout item, since the only U."
