Alico Summit Backpacking Hiking Boots (For Men)

Very happy with purchase, had to exchange first pair- staff very helpful-great return policy.These boots are the greatest! The insoles are not very good, but replace with superfeet greens and they can not be beat.

You can't argue with the extreme high quality of these boots.

These are well made boots. The fit is just right. I wore them around the house for the weekend before I wore them in the mountains. They are a little stiff out of the box, but not bad. They don't need much of a breakin period. I like the Summit model the best of the 3 boots STP offers. The Guides are good for sidehill walking, great ankle support, just a little much for most needs I have. The Tahoes are great around town boot, just not quite up to the Summits for long hikes and where you need more ankle support. Also Summits are leather lined where the Tahoes are not.

Normally a standard width but purchased a wide due to avaliblity and pricing.. very comfortable regardless, their still softening up but the break in has been easy. I've been wearing them everyday to class for 2-3 weeks, they have always kept me warm and dry and they look great!

These boots are very comfortable. I bought a pair of Superfeet green insoles to replace the stock ones. With the new insoles, the boots provide great arch support. The boots are heavy so not my favorite for long hikes. They do provide the best protection short of something with a steel toe. The leather is treated and so they are water resistant and water beads off the Leather, but not the seams. but a coat of Sno-Seal or Huberd's Shoe Grease could make them truly waterproofed. Huberd's is excellent for rainy weather conditions by the way.
