Reviewed 9/97.
I got these to replace a 15 yr. old pair of Danner boots that had a Gore-Tex liner that always kept me dry. Gore-Tex was a must for me.
I got the all-leather version of this boot, which looks better after the leather has been treated and smoothes out.
I bought them at EMS in Chicago, just before my trip and was worried about the break-in time but pleasantly surprised. I wore them to and from work for a few days and did one quick 5 mile walk over a weekend, and they held up pretty good. I used them in West Canada Wilderness Area of Adirondack Park (perhaps "Wilderness Area" is a bit extreme of a term). The use was not terribly strenuous, only moving a few hours a day for four days over fairly dry, easy trails. But I was very impressed with the quick break-in, even given the not-quite-strenuous use they got.
I recommend them.
