Here's what other sites are saying:

From Altrec Outdoors:
"The Baffin Pro Hiking Boot for Men by Lowa is ideal for demanding backpacking adventures, carrying up to 60 pound packs. Non-Gore-Tex version of the ever popular Tibet GTX. This boot works well in dry climates where there is no need for waterproof liners.Recommended by Outward Bound West"An all-leather boot still made in Germany! Such a thing is rare these days. We were happy to see these dark brown beauties - even happier when we slipped them on. The all-leather liner is a special touch... instantly comfortable. Beefy alloy lace loops won't rust and a full rubber rand. These boots should last a long time, if cared for." -Vermont Sports"Are you a serious hiker who lugs a heavy pack over rocky, uneven terrain? If so, this is your boot. Inside, a firm insole and supersoft leather liner offer significant blister protection." - Field, Stream Magazine"

From RockCreek:
"The Lowa Baffin is a high cuff all-leather boot designed for extended backpacking tours and heavy loads. Leather lined for close to the foot fit and ultimate comfort. Designed to provide optimal knee and back support for heavy (30+ pound) packs on and off trail."

"I used these on a hike at Mount Whitney in waist deep snow during late December with snow-shoes and cramp-ons with a 42lb pack. They worked flawlessly. My feet stayed warm and even with a pack my feet never got sore. They are leather so when they do get wet it takes a while to fully dry them."

"I bought these boots last summer and after hundred kilometres of trekking here in Canada in The Forillon Park and The Chic Choc Provincial Park, I can tell you now that I really love my boots.

"It's the second time I buy Lowa and it's simply great! I have this model for about two years and it looks good. Give them one month and it will soften down. Just now I did a 6-weeks long trek with about 30 kg and they work perfectly."

"I bought these Lowa boots while in Germany and have been a fan ever since. High ankle, leather, rubber guard which extends high on the boot, prevents wear on the leather very well. Although a little heavy, these boots are worth the price if you do alot of heavy pack hiking. I've got about 300 miles on these, minus break in and they are none worse for wear."
