Lowa

Nice shoe, sole seems stiff and supportive enough for trail. Grey color is a little odd as it seems almost shiny. Nice bargain!

Manufactured as a part of Lowa's Task Force line for military duty. These boots are durable and very well made. The boot required some break in time but was comfortable out of the box. The height provides good support for walking on rough terrain. If STP has your size in stock, don't hesitate to buy the boot. After wearing my first pair for for 2 weeks I purchased a second pair. You will have a difficult time finding a better boot for the money.

The most comfortable boot I have used.

Fantastic build quality and super comfortable. The leather lining is far superior to Gore-Tex, it's a shame more boots do not offer non GT models. Highly recommended.

good summer color and weight, great price

Ordered a size 8 and a size 8 1/2. There is a substantial difference between the two sizes. I normally wear a size 8 but felt the need to size up to insure there was enough room to accommodate thicker socks. Toe room was adequate in the size 8. The 8 1/2 fell off my feet. These shoes are attractive (gray with pink laces) and lightweight but stiff and will require a break in period. Additionally the cushioning is horrible and I will need to purchase cushion inserts before I wear them hiking.

I bought these for my 2012 thru-hike of the PCT and, wow, I am in love! They arrived only 5 days before departure and just by wearing them daily for that time they were totally broken in. I've worn them 180 miles now and I'm the only person I've met on the trail who has Lowa's and I'm also the only person I've met with no blisters! Next time I would get a half size larger than true size as recommended for thru-hiking, but I hope they'll stretch as my feet swell, they have so far. Perfect for the hot weather, I can feel the breeze :) and they dry in a snap. Would (and have) recommend!

Lowa makes stuff to last! Very high quality. You know German. Serious gear.

These are the most comfortable shoes I have owned. They are not 100% waterproof under every condition, but did fine on an abandon ship drill standing in 2 inches of water in a life raft, and for their extremely light weight and high comfort, they give surprisingly good protection. I can wear these casually, hiking in the SE Alaska rainforest, and they are professional enough for work. Great shoes for the money.

My son really likes the hiking boots. They are light and comfy and good quality.
