User Review: Garmont Bronco Plus
|
Rating: 
Materials: All leather, seamless, non gore-tex.
Use: backpacking, hunting, hiking
Break-in Period: considerable - boots are quite stiff when new
Weight: app. 4 lbs. size 12.5
Price Paid: $180
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. It assures a waterproof, gore-tex free boot... excellent!!!
- Heel fit is perfect -- no slippage.
- Fore-foot fit is a little wide for my narrow feet, but I haven't experienced any problems with proper socks and lacing. Wish they were available in narrow.
- These boots are stiff when new, and take considerable break-in time. I wore them to work and on short hikes for a month before I ventured onto the trail with a backpack. Very comfortable now.
These boots may be tough to find, but a search is worth the effort -- a comparison with other brands will sell you on the design, workmanship, and fit. Again -- just gotta admire that seamless tongue!!! Great job Garmont.
