The Way A Boot is Supposed to be Made By MoH2o from Tahoe on 10/23/2008 Pros: Ankle Support, Arch Support, Great Traction, Sturdy/Durable, Water Resistant Best Uses: Cold Weather, Harsh Terrain, Heavy Loads, Long-Distance Hiking Describe Yourself: Environmentalist, Professional/Guide, Rock Climber Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This is the way Boots used to be made. There would not be so many Hurrah, Yay! Compliments about this boot if most of the stuff sold to us here in the US wasn't such Junk! It used to be that Raichle, Vasque and many others had Boots that where hand made in Italy. Like the Raichle $pir!t made in Italy for that Co-op I'm a member of called R3! It was just like this boot almost exactly, only Lighter. Now that once great boot is made in Romania or some place and it is junk, they sold their souls for money.
Folks I work, in the Mountains for the Forest service and I am a rock climber too, I live for the outdoors and I will tell you this is about as good a boot as you can get now. The Italian boot makers are still the best. I have compared them all.
You can also get this boot in widths, got the wide size and it feels great.
I wish all the other boot companies would repent of their ways and regain the contracts with the Italian craftsman instead of selling us cheap junk from china and former soviet block countries.
And I DON'T want GORE TEX!! Why does everything have Gore tex in it now days? The Boots Breath better without it!
THIS IS THE WAY BOOTS USED TO BE MADE!!!
By Nevada Hiker from Elko Nevada on 07/23/2008 Pros: Ankle Support, Arch Support, Great Traction, Sturdy/Durable, Water Resistant Best Uses: Day Hiking, Harsh Terrain, Heavy Loads, Light Loads, Long-Distance Hiking Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: My girlfriend and I both have a pair of SL M3 boots we love them. They take a little break in time and a few short hikes will do the trick. Between the two of us we hike 60 to 80 miles a week in rugged terrain, and no problems at all. These boots hold up to anything we can dish out. I’ve been wearing Scarpa boots for years and recommend them to anyone looking for a true hiking boot. Not some department store look-alikes.
long break-in, then blisters on my toes By oregondave from portland, or on 06/23/2008 Pros: Ankle Support, Great Traction, Sturdy/Durable Cons: Do not protect feet, Long break in, Not Comfortable Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: these are nice looking boots, full grain leather italian made all things i prefer. they seemed to fit perfectly. regardless, i've had nothing but problems with them. first 3 trips in them required the inclusion of trail runners in my pack because my heels were toast. That got better but then my feet felt crushed when used in combination with the green superfeet. got normal insoles only to start getting a fun blister on my toe and still feeling some hot heel spots. just haven't worked for me. bummer.
