From Backcountry Outlet:
"The Outward Bound and NOLS approved Garmont Men's Bronco Plus Hiking Boot tackles rough terrain and multi-day backpacking trips with durable support and amazing comfort. The Bronco Plus Hiking Boot's top-grade leather upper keeps your feet dry in the wettest conditions. The one-piece leather forefoot molds to your foot for optimal fit, and the lack of seams minimizes blisters. This Garmont hiking boot's reinforced nylon mid-sole provides lightweight stability and flexes where your foot wants it to flex, not at any predetermined flex point. This makes for a customized feel for all-day comfort when hiking."

"The classic seamless top grain leather upper makes the Bronco Plus a great 3 season traditional midweight for aggressive terrain, foul weather day hikes, and extended backpacking.

"I bought a pair of Garmont Bronco Plus before I went to Afghanistan in 2003. I wore them 12+ hours every day for a year through dusty, rocky terrain. They required very little break in and were comfortable from the moment I put them on to the moment I took them off."

"Classic 'no frills' departure from the world of high tech footwear gadgetry. Garmont has a monopoly on the seamless, all leather, quality backpacking boot market. The quality of materials and workmanship are flawless.

I have a pair of Galibier Super Guides with a very similar seamless tongue design; it must be too difficult or expensive for other boot manufacturers to copy, otherwise everyone would use this construction method."

"I purchased these boots because they got such a high rating in Backpacker Magazine. I took about a month to break them in on several 5-mile hikes before taking them on a long weekend trip on the AT and let me say that they performed flawlessly. They proved to be quite tough, even on the hike up Highcock Knob, which, at the end of a grueling day, is murderous."

"an incredibly well-made boot. nearly completely seamless construction, including the tongue. impressive construction.

very simple hardware -- a very traditional looking boot. no frills.

i purchased these boots largely b/c of the fit in the heel -- even without special insoles, the heel is kept firmly in place both laterally and vertically."

"After a year of pounding these boots, I consider them one of my top investments. I backpacked from Pennsylvania to West Virgina along the AT across the state of Maryland. I hiked down the middle of streams and never a blister or a leak. The rocky trail turned other hikers feet to hamburger, but in spite of the pounding, the Garmonts saved my peds."

"These boots fit and felt good when I first put them on at REI. After a couple short walks they are completely mine. Waterproofed with liquid Nikwax. If you have a foot that is somewhat wider than a Med. try these."

"Great boots. Best pair that I have owned. Size 8 1/2 is actually an 8 1/2. Very stiff when new but break-in quickly. Good ankle support and plently of toe room. Feet stay in place with no side to side or sliding action. Tested the water proofness of these boots by walking in water for about 20 minutes."
