I climbed all the NH 4000 footers in one pair of Authentic 6 during a period of 14 months. These boots are great out of the box! Too bad they don't make the blue/gray model anymore...
I used Nikwax regularly and they stayed quite waterproof. One of the boots unfortunately died when I attempted a long section of the Long Trail in late october 1997 in 15 inches of new snow. It "melted" by our campfire at Shootin Star shelter!

These were boots I got from Sierra Trading Post on clearance. They looked good but were too narrow for my wide foot. SO, if you have wider feet, they may not be for you.
