Reviewed by Fishinfloyd from New Mexico on Thursday, May 16, 2013Overall these are very good boots that work well for me. One time they had an early sole detachment but STP allowed a full return. Other pairs I've ordered have not had this problem.

Reviewed by shop dude from New Jersey on Wednesday, May 08, 2013These boots were comfortable almost right away, and broke in easly. I am on my feet all day, and need boots with lasting comfort and support.

Reviewed by Bath Matt from Maine on Friday, May 03, 2013I believe this boot will last a light-weight hiker like me for many years. That said, I believe it will also take the entire Summer to break them in, as stiff as they are. They appear to be built in a very solid manner with quality products (with the exception of the removable foot pad, which is as cheap as I've ever seen). Add a replacement pad to the total price of the boots and they're still a very fine deal. The fit for me was perfect. I wear a 12 D-E, depending on the shoe, and the 12 D in these feels excellent. With the quality, comes some extra weight in these boots. I don't see it as anything but a way to get a little more exercise, but some experienced hikers may find them cumbersome over the course of a day. I am guessing each boot outweighs my previous Asian made, glued together boots by a half pound apiece. Wade through a stream and you can probably double that! The bottom line for me is that I'm not as willing as I once was to purchase throw away items. I'm finding it cost prohibitive to purchase a quality product and have it reconditioned when it's time. I wish I had learned that earlier in life. Having only worn them once, that's all I know.

Reviewed by Justin C from Washington on Tuesday, April 30, 2013I did a small amount of in city break in to soften them up just a slight bit. I recently took them on an 11 mile hike, initially they were still a bit stiff but by about 3 miles in they had broken in and were quite comfortable. I hiked in snow, water, mud you name it and didn't have any problems with wet feet or blisters (I did nikwax them prior to the hike). These boots are fantastic and likely the best boots for the money around.

Reviewed by Tarheel from NC on Wednesday, April 17, 2013These are really great boots. Admittedly, I haven't had them long, but they are very nice, comfortable, and easy to break-in (as in, they need almost no break-in). They are not nearly as heavy as some of the other Italian boots I have had in the past (Scarpa), which is not necessarily a bad thing. Still they seem very nice, well built, and are super comfortable. How they will hold up, is the big question. So far so good, and I expect the will do well. In any case, they were a great deal at the STP price.

Reviewed by El Mariachi from Mexico City on Thursday, April 11, 2013I am always wary about buying shoes of any kind online, especially boots. I was incredibly pleased with these boots right out of the box. They slipped onto my wide food with ease, laced up easy and fit perfectly. They are stiff, very stiff, but with a few miles of walking around, they have broken in nicely and the already excellent fit, gets better with each step. In addition to the great fit, they breathe just fine. i read other reviews that complained of sweaty feet. I've hiked miles and miles and never had a problem. It may have more to do with wearing the right socks. In addition to all of this, I love the look. I'm a traditionalist and really don't like the modern, ever-changing high tech styles that are produced by various manufactures. If you're look for classic, reliable, well made and comfortable, look no further. Great buy.

Reviewed by wow from Lansing, MI on Tuesday, April 09, 2013My hubby is very picky. He loved these boots from the start. They were exactly what he was looking for. They are well-crafted and beautiful.
