Here's what other sites are saying:

From RockCreek:
"The Lowa Tibet GTX is handcrafted in Germany and is considered the ultimate backpacker for long haul trips, off trail. Lowa has lined the boot with Gore-Tex in order to ensure dry feet in wet weather and use in all seasons of the year. Breathable, comfy and incredibly supportive with tall ankle shafts for extra knee and back support when carrying heavy packs (30+ pounds)."

From REI:
"Free Shipping on Your Whole Order when you buy select shoes and boots. Ends 11/15. For Tibet or the Appalachian Trail from end to end, these backpacking boots are a solid choice for long haul trips. Gore-Tex liners make these boots waterproof yet breathable, for comfort in a variety of conditions. Padded, anatomically contoured tongues improve flex and ankle comfort; they also reduce break-in time. Polyurethane midsoles provide long-lasting shock absorption; thermo polyurethane inserts enhance stability and protection underfoot on rough terrain. Vibram Tsavo rubber outsoles feature self-cleaning lugs for excellent grip on all types of terrain. Water-resistant nubuck leather uppers deliver reliable support and durability."

"(A year update) One of the most excellent boots I've had in a while, which I bought as a tougher replacement to my Scarpa ZG20.

Fit and Stiffness: These are supposed to be backpacking books, so they are pretty stiff - just a notch softer than mountaineering boots."

"I bought these boots as a semi-rigid boot for general alpine use. After a week walking around town, I took them for an easy 2 hour hike. That was enough to break them in sufficiently for a 9 hour T4 hike on mixed rocky ground including VF in the range A-C and some grade I climbing."

"These boots work great! I have had them almost two years and probably have put 800 dry and comfortable miles on them. They are the first boot I've had that has kept my feet dry from tromping through wet slush all day!

Pro's
-good under foot cushioning, thank god!
-stiff sole is great for off-trail exploration, but still very comfy to walk lots of miles in."

"To date I have put roughly 200 miles on these boots from moderate trail hikes to bushwacking/mountain climbing in British Columbia and they have performed superbly. I have a wide, lower volume forefoot and a narrow heel and they fit great (the European lasts are reputed to fit a wider variety of feet than the U."
