Lowa Scout GTX

rated 5.0 of 5 stars

The Scout GTX has been discontinued. If you're looking for something new, check out the best backpacking boots for 2024.

This is possibly the best boot I've ever worn. When taking these boots on a NOLS course, I neglected to break them in prior to the trip and feared the havoc I feared the still stiff boots would play on my feet. But after four weeks of tromping over 95 miles through the Wind Rivers my feet didn't even suffer a hot spot let alone a blister. Soreness was purely from miles, not from the boot. Add a good coat of waterproofing and some good quality gaiters and you may just want to be your feet in that next hailstorm or hike.
