Rating: rated 5 of 5 stars
Materials: leather
Use: off trail, moderate alpine
Break-in Period: quite long
Weight: ?
Price Paid: $165

I was lucky enough to buy these boots for $165; they are the newest model. I have used them for about one year and they have never let me down. I walked through a river that had ice chunks floating through it in the middle of winter and they still kept my feet warm along with my wool socks. I would recommend these boots to anyone.
