Alico Summit Backpacking Hiking Boots (For Men)
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 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!

Reviewed by T.Town Hiker from Oklahoma on Friday, April 26, 2013These are top quality full grain leather boot which should stand up to week long trips I take. These will require breaking in, but should last a good long time. The materials and workmanship seems top rate, and I am well satisfied with them so far. I have a peak bagging trip this August and will provide follow-up then.

Reviewed by Maui Hiker / Hunter from Maui on Wednesday, April 24, 2013These are some sturdy boots. Real craftsmanship that you just can't match with glued on cup soles and lesser grades of leather. These will take care of you if you take care of them. I changed out the insoles with cork insoles from my old Birkenstock hiking boots that I have owned for 12 years and had resoled 3 times. I was sad that Birkenstock doesn't make hiking boots and dress shoes like they did for a few years so now I'm using the perfectly formed to my feet cork insoles in these well built boots and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. This is actually my second pair just in case I can't find another in a few years in the unlikely event that I can wear the first pair out. Yes, they take a few (dozen) miles to properly break in but now they fit like a glove and I can go all day.

Reviewed by honest man from CT on Tuesday, April 23, 2013These will be the closest thing you can find to a Fabiano. Grab these at this price before they disappear. Shoes of this quality will not make it to these shores again at this price point. These will last you a lot longer than the modern vulcanised sole. There is no comparison, these "ols school" styled shoes are better than the modern design hikers.
