From REI:
"These award-winning, waterproof backpacking boots are suitable for tough trails carrying moderate to heavy loads. A purist's dream boot. Recipient of the prestigious Backpacker Magazine Editor's Choice 2005 award for outstanding performance, fit, comfort and durability. Sturdy and flexible waterproof full-grain leather uppers supply serious support but a forgiving fit for long-lasting comfort on long-haul trips. Seam-sealed Gore-Tex® inserts offer total waterproof protection and allow moisture vapor to escape, keeping feet from becoming overheated. Padded and gusseted scree-tongues relieve lace pressure while fending off trail debris; padded and flexible collar adds ankle comfort. Rubber toe and heel randing protects feet and uppers from bumps and abrasion; nickel-plated hardware resists corrosion for reliable performance. Wicking nylon linings and footbed topsheets absorb excess moisture and disperse it quickly for fast drying. Removable footbeds add comfort and support. Motion Control and Rolling Technology stabilize feet during walking gait with extra midsole supports, front and rear flex zones and rigid stabilizers. Durable polyurethane midsoles deliver all-day cushioning, shock absorption and rebound for tackling rugged terrain. Thermoplastic urethane midsole supports bolster boot's rigidity and supports the foot's natural rolling motion. Dependable Vibram® Rolling II Advanced™ rubber outsoles deliver serious traction and braking control on varied surfaces, both wet and dry."

My uses: heavy backpacking (40+ pound pack, up to 12 miles and 4,000 feet elevation gain per day) and light mountaineering (non-technical climbing; mixed rock and snow; occasional crampon use)."

I work outdoors in oil and gas exploration and carry heavy loads (30#+) at times in all terrains and these boots are a dream to wear! They fit like a glove, are waterproof, and need very little break-in time."

I don't have extensive experience with hiking boots. I had another brand before this of the same price. In less than a year traveling overseas they literally fell apart. I returned them to the shop and as they no longer supplied that same brand, I was given this Raichle boot."

The boot needs to break in of course, but when they do, oh my! Took about three weeks of hiking every other day. First my left foot went numb, then my right foot, and I began to doubt the boot. . . but then everything clicked."
