Closeouts. Nestled within the Alps, the Dolomites are known for jagged peaks and deep crevasses that have challenged the climber's craft for centuries. The Summit from Alico was handcrafted by artisans in this awe-inspiring region. Its one-piece oil-tanned leather upper was made to explore the tough terrain of rugged landscapes. Soft leather interior and moisture-wicking insole reduces friction and blisters.

Reviewed by Eric from Germany on Sunday, May 19, 2013I have used these in a wide range of climates from hot desert to snow. Refreshing high quality construction, no signs of wear and lots with lots of use.

Reviewed by Rocky Mtn Hiker from Colorado on Saturday, May 04, 2013These are old-school hikers. Leather is soft, will need to do a light break-in but after that should be good to go. Had a pair of Field & Stream all leather boots I was trying to replicate. Can't get F&S in full leather anymore (mine were made in WI 20 yrs ago, now I believe they're all made in China). Anyway these Alico's have the Montagna sole which I had on my old F&S (actually they had slightly smaller healed very old school simple Vibram Roccia Block). You either like leather or you want to go modern... leather always works best for me. Once these are broken in they'll fit my feet like a pair of tough gloves.

Reviewed by Maxwell from Missouri on Wednesday, May 01, 2013Everything as promised. Boot is heavy and it is stiff. But such a boot should be. Sizing is tricky. I would buy it again!

Question “I have had 4 sets of boots that have lost their soles after about 5 years even after as few as 2 multiday trips. I attribute this to storage in hawaii, humidity etc. I am thinking that the rubber and glue degrades due to mold or just the humidity. the soles remain fine, but the rubber between and glue seems to just fall apart. Sooo I am looking for boots that wont do that. do these boots use glue or just welted on? if the glue degrades will affect the function. any advice or comments would be appreciated. thanks”

Answer Greetings! All Alico boots use the Norwegian Welt design in their sole construction. This means the Vibram lug sole is sewn to the boot, as opposed to being glued. This allows the soles to be replaced easily when worn out. On the webpage, use the zoom function to get a good look at how the sole is stitched to the boot. They're the only kind I have used in 30+ years of professional work and hiking. In general, humidity there isn't extreme and shouldn't be a problem unless you wear them every day in the most un-hospitable areas of the islands. Like any other footwear, they will not last long if consistently wet. Aside from the effects that kind of harsh environment would have on the leather uppers of any boot worn daily and not allowed to dry, the only effect on the soles would be if the stitching rots; something that can be repaired by any competent cobbler/shoe repair shop. You may also want to consider boots with molded soles, which is not the same as glued.

Question “There are few sizes available in Medium width. When will STP have more stock of this fine boot?”
-
Question “How do these boots do in hot weather? Is it doable or totally misguided to wear them in the summer? Thanks”
-
Answer I am a big fella (120kg) and wear these boots every day. I have worn them in the summer (30 degrees C) and find them comfortable. I just walked 15 miles yesterday and although my feet were sore after that, they soon recovered and are fine today.

Question “Hi, what are the exact measurements of the insoles for sizes 11.5 and 12 for the Alico Summit? Also, would a D width support a 4.25inch wide foot, or should I get a 'W' width? Hoping to ensure a correct fit before shipping.. Thanks so much!”
-
Answer Insole length for the size 11.5 is 11.5" and the 12 is 12 1/4". Since you may want to wear a thicker sock with this boot I would say a wide would work better for your foot.

Question “Are these boots water-resistant? For example, can you walk through a stream without water penetrating the boot?”
-
Answer The Alico Summit boots are water-resistant.
-
Answer They do not have a GoreTex liner. Water CAN penetrate through the stitching. They are not intended to be waterproof. They can be "water resistant" if you make them that way. Sno-Seal is the answer. Lots of it. Order the quart can from their website. Follow their instructions. Make sure you use a fingertip to run a thick bead of the stuff around the welt and then melt it into the stitching with a hair dryer. If you do it right these boots will handle a brief wetting, but water will eventually get through if you wade in it long enough. (Which is true with GoreTex too, of course.) And if you avoid leather care products that are based on animal fats, such as saddle soap, neatsfoot oil or mink oil, the leather will remain breathable and will dry out more quickly overnight when you're on a backpacking trip. You don't want anything to penetrate the entire thickness of the leather and clog the pores. (That ruins GoreTex boots too. It can't work if the leather can't breathe.)

-
Question “The catalog page says the boots have "leather interiors." Someone posted specs under Q&A that said the interior is "brushed cambrelle or leather." On the chat, I was told the interior is "brushed leather." I've never heard of brushed leather as a lining for a backpacking boot. What I want is a glove leather lining. What's in this boot?”
-
Answer Brushed leather is just another way of saying it doesn't have a "shiny" finish. If you can zoom in on the cuff it will give you a good idea of the type of leather inside the boot.
-
Answer They have a smooth leather lining.
-
-
Question “What kind of shank does the Alico Summit have?”
-
Answer The Alico summit boots do not have a shank in them.
