Rating:
Materials: leather
Use: rough trail, wet and snowy conditions
Break-in Period: 50 miles or more
Weight: 4lbs
Price Paid: $185 (REI sale)

Great boots! They did take a long time to break in and I still tape my heels on long trips but they are pretty comfortable now. Completely weather-proof if treated well (Nikwax aqueous) and will probably outlive me. I'm looking forward to doing some light mountaineering with them this season. Overall a well-constructed boot that will take you just about anywhere through any conditions.
