I will NEVER buy another pair of LOWA boots as long as I live. I purchased a set of LOWA Scout all leather boots 2 years ago and after 6 months the stitching started coming out. At two years everything is falling apart and the sole is falling off of them. I paid over $200.00 for these boots and I haven't even wore them on any hiking trips. I bought them for wearing to work and general everyday use, which is not anywhere near as hard as using them for trail use. I expected these boots to last at LEAST 5 years, but thought they would last around 7 years. What a joke. They look like I have ABUSED them, but such is not the case. Before I bought these boots (My first, and now my LAST pair of Lowa boots) I wore Matterhorn boots made by H.H. Brown/Cove Shoes. Those boots could be ABUSED and they would still last 7 years! I am going back to wearing Matterhorns and tossing these piece of shit Lowas in the trash bin.
