Rating: rated 5 of 5 stars
Materials: leather
Use: trekking
Break-in Period: very little
Weight: ?
Price Paid: $225

By far the most comfortable boots I've ever owned. I used to be a big fan of Sundowners, but these are even better. I have a low profile foot, but the boots fit very well. Suprisingly required very little break-in time. Strong soles (Vibram) that can be re-soled. You cannot go wrong with these boots!
