“Great high-top hiking boot”

“This is the first Lowa product I've ever owned. I don't have a lot of time in these boots yet but I like them a lot so far. They're very comfortable right out of the box, have excellent support and look very well made. The construction details are good and the Gore-Tex lining keeps my feet dry, warm and comfortable. The tread is aggressive but they have a wide-set and fairly shallow pattern that doesn't clog up with mud or dirt on the trail. The speed lace lugs are substantial and don't look like they'll bend down to crimp the laces like some do. The exterior of the boots clean up easily which is a big plus for me. I got these for a winter/bad weather high-top hiker and general knock-around boot and they seem perfect for the job. I did notice the squeaking that some of the other reviewers complained about - it's there for sure. For my purposes it's not a big deal, but it might not be so great for stalking game. I would definitely recommend this product.”
