Alico

I ordered the boot a half size larger and was rewarded with a perfect fit. Tired of seeing sneakers on steroids calling themselves mountaineering boots,with high price points that wear out. Purchase these and they will become one of your go to items. It is amazing that Companies can sell the public on inferior products and we buy them anyway. Lightweight is sometimes code for cheap.

These are my fourth pair. I have very difficult feet - flat (I use inserts), wide, tall at the toes - and these are among the only shoes out there that fit well. I wear them almost every day. Also, they can be resoled and - with good care - will last for years. If you like them, be sure to get a back-up pair; this level of quality and craftsmanship may be a thing of the past in another decade.

This is just that classic hiking boot, all leather that will last many sets of sole. That was what I wanted, and they fit the bill perfect. I have logged many miles in the 2 years I have had them now. They did take quite the break in. The biggest issue with these boots is the fit. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND BUYING AT LEAST 2 PAIRS OF DIFFERENT SIZES! Get the 2 sizes that you think would work, and then keep the one that fits and send the other back. There is alot of room in the boot. I have found that it took a little configuring to get the best fit. Playing with insoles and sock combinations. Once you figure it out, life will be good.

Just wore out my 7 year old Vasque Sundowners and was looking for an all leather replacement. I've had the Alico Summits for about a month, and they are a great replacement. I have a really wide foot, and they have a true EE feel to them. I did not find the break in period to be long as others have. I wear them almost every day here on the farm and looks like they will hold up well.

This boot is built in Italy with old world quality [*].

These boots don't need a whole lot of breaking in for rock hopping. Cinch them tight and they are amazing with medium weight self-wicking hiking socks. These suckers edge like a champ on 1/4-inch edges, and keep your ankles well-supported while traversing rugged and broken terrain. They are especially nice on dirt trails as their stiffness assists in the forward motion of the foot. Because of this, the weight is almost negligible. If you are addicted to light-weight molded sole hiking boots, these things will seem like tanks. But trust me, once you are used to these, you will never go back! AND they are re-soleable!

Thease are exelent Chucker hunting boots. Great for the rocks!

Needed a backup to my old italian Vasque. Found the goto boot. Italian made. It does not get any better. Long break in.

fantastic boots, took only one day of continouse walking around town and the beach to become pretty comfortable. I had a hot spot on my heal the first day but it seemed to feel much better the more i wore the boots. I added an extra pair of old insoles because the boots insoles were too thin and marginal by themselves. Very well made and good to have on your feet!
