5.0 out of 5 stars. Excellent Old School Hiking BootVerified Buyer Reviewed by Vitaprime from Reno on Friday, May 18, 2018These are an excellent old school, full leather hiking boot. I hike in the Sierra's outside of Reno. Much of the elevation gain is on hard pan with loose rock. The thick Vibram sole (there is no substitute for Vibram) provides excellent protection from impact and abrasions. These are heavier than the lighter hiking boots ( I have Merrill and Keen) and aren't as pure waterproof (I'd call these highly water resistant) but are an excellent all around boot. Provides excellent toe protection. As with most Euro boots, these tend to run narrow. I ended up a half size long and a wide size and they fit perfect. Bought mine on clearance @ $ 109.00 but are easily worth at least $ 150.00. I see at least another couple of pairs of Alicos in my future.

5.0 out of 5 stars. Alicia: Best Mountain/Hiking Boots Hands DownVerified Buyer Reviewed by SemperFi Patriot from Georgia on Sunday, May 13, 2018This is now my third purchase of Alico Boots. I assure you that there is not another brand that compares. Now... know that you will pay more, because they are high quality leather and materials, Italian designed and manufactured. If you are fortunate and can afford even the regular Sierra Trading price, then buy them. They sell elsewhere for much higher prices. I have taken my chances and waited until a clearance price is posted. But, you really do take a leap of faith your size will be available when they go on clearance. A purchase of any style Alico boot is well worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars. Awesome bootVerified Buyer Reviewed by southcape from Wilmington, nc on Tuesday, May 8, 2018These are very high quality boots. Stiff at first, however quickly break in to become an amazing work boots. Fit half size smaller then normal. You can tell as soon as you pick these boots up they are truly a higher level quality then most.

4.0 out of 5 stars. Tough Boots! Maybe Tougher than me!!Verified Buyer Reviewed by J.Kaverie from Connecticut on Friday, February 9, 2018These look & feel like old school hiking boots. In that light there are a couple of things I had forgotten about traditional leather hiking boots. The first is the squeaks & creaks and the second is the break in period. I have two coats of leather conditioner and 14 miles of hiking built up two miles at a time and still feels like there's quite a way to go before I would feel comfortable about taking these out on a 4+ mile hike. I replaced the inner soles after the first hike and so far the laces have held up.

Just what I wanted!Verified Buyer Reviewed by Swal1968 from Tennessee on Friday, January 26, 2018I have been wanting these boots for awhile, so when I saw them at the great price - I had to get them...read the reviews about them running a size big, so i ordered down and they fit great. Very pleased with these boots! Can't wait to go hiking in them:)

2.0 out of 5 stars. " After a few months"Reviewed by Anonymous from Texas on Wednesday, June 28, 2017Adding to my initial low, 3-star review, now I can let buyers know that the boots squeak with each step. That is inexcusable and cheapens them even more. And you cannot return them unless the are like new, with original tags in place. How do you test boots--even on the street-- and keep all the tags dangling as you walk around? Down to 2 stars. Stick with REI and LLBean.

3.0 out of 5 stars. FairReviewed by Anonymous from Texas on Thursday, May 11, 2017My old HH Brown leather hiking boots lasted 20 years and had been resoled three times. They were done. Since they don't make them any more, I was looking for something similar in appearance and features. It seemed that the Alico Backcountry was a match. I paid $149.99. There are two disappointments: 1. They run large. I wear 9-1/2. The Alico 9-1/2 feel like 10. Too loose. 2. The lace eyelets are shiny like chrome, and have sharp edges as if they were stamped out from a tin can. I think they will chew up the inside of my pants cuffs, so I'm having to file the burrs off (for $149.99 I shouldn't have to do that). The boots are not inexpensive, but they are a disappointment. I intend to keep them, since I have worn them and they are therefore not returnable. Ask me again in five years. . .

5.0 out of 5 stars. Great BootVerified Buyer Reviewed by User name from CA on Tuesday, April 11, 2017Fantastic. Supportive, water proof, comfortable. Immediately supple, essentially didnt need to break in before first use on big hike in rain and snow. Does run slightly big. I wear 11.5 for my Merrels and most sneakers. I needed 11 for these and it fits great.
