Lowa Men's Jannu Lo

I need a hiking shoe for a six month stint in Israel. I read several reviews and chose this model. I couldn't have been more pleased when the rubber met the trail. I should have an over-the-heel boot for the roughness of the terrain I hike here, but I find the Jannu Los very stable. They are also the most comfortable hiking shoes I've ever had! Eight hours on the trail means nothing to my feet, even with hammer-toe. They breathe extremely well and are very tough. I heartily recommend them!
