The best cool/cold weather leather backpacking boots I've ever owned. Very comfortable boots from the first trip (after break-in at home) that are extremely durable too. The stiff shank can easily handle heavy loads on steep and uneven terrain.
I abuse them mainly off trail with heavy loads on multi-day trips. The rubber rand began to split from the leather after my first trip with my first pair, but Lowa did not hesitate to send me a new pair.
Because they're insulated leather boots they can take awhile to dry out if they get wet inside, but the Primaloft will keep your feet warm even if wet.
My only suggestion would be for Lowa to start using an eVent liner as opposed to Gore-tex. I have eVent in another pair of boots and shell and it seems to be more breathable.
Another great product from Lowa!

I've got may pair before an Ibex hunt in southern Turkey 5 years ago and I've hiked many miles in them. The most extreme day was a 14-hour hike up and down mountains chasing Ibex through a rain storm (it rained 12 hours straight) and my feet were warm and dry.
The best pair of heavy duty hunting boots I owned or seen on anyone else.
