Use: Medium Duty
Break-in Period: Not bad right out of the box -- and just keep getting better
Weight: 2.2 lbs
Price Paid: $149 (sale)

I bought mine in '95 for a trip to the UK. During that trip, I carried a 50 lb pack and never had so much as a blister. They kept my feet dry and comfortable. I thought they were well broken in after that trip, but just keep getting better (I wear them a lot)! The soles are showing some wear and the lovely oxblood leather is pretty scuffed, but I have definitely gotten my money's worth -- I'll still be wearing them when I go back to the UK next year!
