Materials: Leather
Use: backpacking, bushwacking
Break-in Period: 10 miles
Price Paid: $200

I have been backpacking for 40 years and have a narrow foot, 14 B to be precise, so my choices are very limited. I had been wearing Vasque narrow sizes until they moved production to China and discontinued most of their narrow products.

These are absolutely the most comfortable boot of any kind I have ever worn. Break in was very short compared with other boots, no more than about 10 miles. They are comfortable enough to use as a day hiker, but a bit on the heavy side for that.

I am working on bagging the NE 4's and enjoy bushwhacking into the Vermont wilderness areas and I could not be happier. Ample support, no pressure points and never a blister. I wear a poly liner under a trekking weight wool/nylon sock.
