Materials: Leather, carbon rubber outsole
Use: Extended mountain trail use
Break-in Period: 2 weeks
Price Paid: $70

Great boot for the price.

I tested these boots, after a short break-in period, on a rocky trail that had a 1200 foot elevation change in less than a mile.

On both the uphill and downhill this boot performed admirably, it gripped damp rock and I had no problems with my foot slamming into the toebox on steep descents.

I've never owned boots from any of the higher-end manufacturers, so I don't know how these compare. The Altitude IV did everything I needed them to do, they kept my feet dry and supported with no blisters or strange aches at the end of the day.
