Here's what other sites are saying:
From RockCreek:
"The Lowa Banff provides the classic look of a seamless leather backpacking boot, though lighter on the foot with a sturdy backpacking sole and full rubber rand for durability. Leather lined for close to the foot comfort. Top performer for hard-duty backpacking on and off-trail. Excellent knee and back support for a 30+ pound pack."
From REI:
"Rugged and dependable, these boots are a great choice for taking on rough trails with moderate to heavy loads. Thick, one-piece nubuck leather uppers are durable, highly water-resistant and flexible for long-lasting protection and comfort. Smooth leather linings are superbly soft, absorbent and will conform to foot shape for an enduring custom fit. C4 lacing system uses an assymetrical padded tongue, soft edging, recessed ankle cut and curved insert for tailored comfort across instep. Full rubber rands help decrease abrasion and deter moisture from uppers. Polyurethane midsoles offer outstanding cushioning for all-day wear; nylon shanks afford enhanced torsional rigidity to protect and support feet. Thermoplastic urethane inserts help control pronation and supination for a more natural walking motion. Vibram Tsavo outsoles feature omnidirectional, self-cleaning lug pattern for reliable traction on all types of surfaces."
From Backcountry.com:
"The Lowa Banff Backpacking Boot for Men is the product of history and technology. Like its predecessors, the Banff uses 2.5mm thick seamless leather for unbeatable durability and long life. Coupled with a Vibram sole with a shock absorbing midsole, the Banff stabilizes and protects your foot. The full rubber shank lends stability in uneven terrain and protects from sharp rocks. The leather upper with the slightly raised inner cuff prevents ankle rolls. A carefully constructed insole with pronation and supination zones gives optimum stabilization no matter what your stride looks like. The Banff is a great deal on a top performer for intense backpacking with heavy loads. Traditionally, Lowa's run large so select a size below your normal shoe size."
From Backcountry Outlet:
"The Lowa Banff Backpacking Boot for Womens combination of comfort and ruggedness make it stand out in a crowd, even when youre miles away from one."

My hikes will normally include mountainous terrain of steep elevation gain and loss, scree, and dry creek rock hoping."
