Very nice boot indeed. I also have the Lowa Scout also. These are even nicer than the Scouts though. They have the rocker type sole and I find that it's nice when you are getting tired. They give you a little energy with each step (no BS). The support in these babies is wonderful. Some boots tend to make my feet roll inward but these keep me in alignment. I have a flat wide foot with narrow heal. These fit perfectly and they took minimal break-in time. The trusty Vibram sole is a life saver in decents.

I think I will stick with Lowa, they are a very nice brand with quality, not like some of the boots made in China (nothing against China, I am Chinese myself). I just noticed when I tried boots like from Vasque or Asolo recently, the quality and fit are a downer.
