Rating: rated 4 of 5 stars
Materials: reversed leather
Use: general mountaineering
Break-in Period: < 20 miles
Price Paid: $160

Great boot, bomber leather. I did not have any problems with break-in -- I brought them home, waxed them (Sno-seal), and wore them to work for a week and on walks around the neighborhood.

The next weekend I took them on an 8-mile hike (roundtrip) with 4000 ft gain, no problems. Boot felt great. Developed a few hotspots in my heel due to heal-lift, but a quick change in lacing technique locked that down and I had no blisters.

The boot already feels great -- great combo of stiff and supple where I need them. They accepted my orthotics perfectly.
