"These all-weather, all-leather boots are geared for backpacking and rugged outdoor use. Waterproofed nubuck leather uppers are durable, flexible and breathable for long-lasting comfort. Waterproof construction features complete seam-sealing, gusseted tongue and rustproof hardware. Nylon linings wick away excess sweat and dry quickly. Thermoplastic heel and toe counters protect feet from bumps. Removable ECI footbeds add extra cushioning to compression-molded EVA midsoles. Fiberboard midsole supports with partial steel shanks offer enhanced torsional support. Lugged carbon-rubber outsoles supply dependable grip and durability on various surfaces. Closeout."

"These are amazing boots! I am going to order my third pair tomorrow but they are going to be the new "Altitude 3". They are extremely comfortable, light, and durable for long hikes. They look great considering most hiking boots these days look ridiculous."

"I walk approx 5 miles a day. I was having knee and ankle problems. I was walking in good low cut walking shoes. I bought these boots and it's has been like a blessing to me.
I wear them all the time and have no pain."

"These boots have served me extremely well for 4 years of 15 mile hikes each weekend, 5 day backpacking trips, climbing up mountain scree slopes, summer construction work, and post-Katrina demolition and cleanup. They're still completely waterproof, even though I have done no maintenance on them."

"These really are amazing boots for the price. I work as a landscaper/lumberjack/construction/hunter/hiker and these boots have held up through everything I've put them through. Very good choice if you're not trying to spend a fortune on good boots."

"This is my second backpacking shoe. My first one was a Merrel boot that, while snug at my forefoot, kept losing the grip on my heel.
The leather upper is well waterproofed. I walked through deep puddles of water where the level of water was almost to the 'tounge' of the boot."

"These are EXCELLENT boots for the money. I bought them for a hike up Mount Washington's Ammonoosuc Ravine Trail, which is a very rough and rocky trail with a number of stream crossings, and these boots handled the trip without a problem. The waterproofing is as advertised."

"Bought these for hiking/camping and canoe tripping. I am very pleased with them. They are lightweight, and quite waterproof. On our canoe trips I carry a 70lb pack for two of us and they seem to support my ankles fairly well. The sole is also very grippy, and I have had zero issues on snow and ice as well as wet rock etc."

"I love them. For $70, I don't think you'll do much better. I am not a fan of heavy footwear, so the fairly light weight of these pleases me just fine. Fairly waterproof, and pretty warm with wool or fleece socks -- even if they get wet. I sprayed mine first and that has worked well."

"These are worth what I paid for them, but not the $80 list. They are lighter-weight than I'm used to, so to me they feel rather flimsy. I wouldn't use them for long trips where you intend to cover a lot of ground, but the break in is very short and they are very shock absorbing."
