From REI:
"One of Scarpa's lightest backpacking designs, the Barun GTX boots offer rugged, waterproof performance and a supportive platform that will carry you over passes and through valleys in comfort. Nubuck and suede leather uppers provide superb durability, support, and water resistance while maintaining a low weight. Gore-Tex® liners make these boots waterproof yet breathable for comfort in a variety of conditions. Moisture-wicking nylon linings absorb and disperse sweat to keep feet and boots dry and comfortable. Close-to-toe lacing and gusseted tongues provide a snug fit and repel trail debris; rubber rands shroud toes against bumps and abrasion. Polyurethane and EVA midsoles provide ample cushioning for long days on the trail. Performance-Flex nylon insoles provide the underfoot support and stability of shanks without the additional weight. Vibram® Megane Lite rubber outsoles offer excellent grip and stability while keeping the weight low."

Reviewed by The Woodlander, Oct 12, 2009

"I took a 10 2/3 size pair of these with me on a 75 mile Philmont trek. Hiked thru streams to where the water almost went over the top, didn't even get wet. Hiked in hail, mud, rocks, rain, a bit of snow, this boot can handle it.

I didn't slip once with these boots on."

"Good Boot - Never thought I'd do this, but. . . bought this boot on a Friday for a Monday trip to Zion in Utah. Wore it all weekend, but when I strapped it on for the summit to Angels Landing, I was more than pleasantly surprised. Comfortable day one."
