I bought these boots in the mid-late nineties and haven't bought boots since. They have been my principle winter footwear (in Michigan no less) for a decade and still feel as solid as when I purchased them. They have provided me with blister-free hiking in all conditions. They aren't perfectly waterproof as I learned shoveling driveways one winter, but all told I got my money's worth and then some with this product.
I was just looking online to see if I could source another pair to ensure that I could have a pair for the rest of my life when I came across this review. My experience couldn't be more different from the review written in '97.

Don't buy. After trying on several boots at several stores, I picked these because they just felt great. They continued to feel great in the Ansel Adams Wilderness (CA, near Yosemite), but the soles started peeling off after 35 miles. There was very little cement in there to ever hold them together.
Not a bad boot, just built poorly. After a heated exchange at Track n' Trail, they agreed to a full refund. By the way, Forza and Lomer have merged.

This pair of boots are the best pair of boots I have ever had. I have used them very hard, I did have soles installed about a year ago.They aren't holding up as good as the original soles. I have had them for six years, and still going. I was thinking of getting another pair. I can't find them where I live (yet).
