I bought these boots for light backpacking and trekking in the Rockies of Colorado, but find myself wearing them every day. Before I ordered them, I researched them online. I have never had a boot this comfortable.

They are lined with glove leather backed by foam padding. They have conformed to my foot perfectly and offer great support for a daily boot. I have treated them with Grangers Nubuck and Suede waterproofing as per the instructions on the Lowa website, and they stayed waterproof during the worst ice storm and rain in Oklahoma history. They are warm and comfortable, and flexible enough to be used daily, while still offering great ankle support, and a good solid sole.

I recommend going to the Lowa Website to research before purchase as everything they claimed turned out to be accurate. The address is; http://lowaboots.com/home/?CFID=2652855&CFTOKEN=73384953

They also list dealers who carry their products. In all, I am extremely pleased with this product and will buy them again if I wear these out. I bought mine at Zappos.com and got free overnight shipping.
