By Dragon from Houston, TX on 10/23/2009 Pros: Ankle Support, Arch Support, Great Traction, Sturdy/Durable, Warm, Water Resistant Best Uses: Cold Weather, Day Hiking, Everyday, Harsh Terrain, Heavy Loads, Light Loads, Long-Distance Hiking, Wet Conditions Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: These are true heavy duty boots. There is a break in period required. Wear good socks, and apply callous padding to the heels during break-in period. once their broken in, they will provide you with many years of service. My last pair lasted 15 years. Awesome boots. Have never had another brand come close.
Update on 'end of the world boots' By Alaskan hiker from Mat-Su Alaska on 10/22/2009 Pros: Ankle Support, Arch Support, Great Traction, Sturdy/Durable, Warm, Water Resistant Best Uses: Everyday, Harsh Terrain, Heavy Loads, Long-Distance Hiking, Wet Conditions Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer, Casual/Recreational Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: After several months of use these boots are, indeed, a great buy. They are the toughest boots I have found since the mid 90's when Ed Fabiano closed up. They have taken on every condition I have put them through with no problem. I use them every day cutting firewood, home construction, carrying heavy loads, and long weekend hiking trips in Southcentral Alaska. Wet, muddy, soft, hard, or unstable surfaces are no problem. Even a shopping trip to the luumber yard or store in the middle of a work day is fine because these boots are at home anywhere.
After a brief break-in they fit my feet like a glove and offer superb ankle support,no slippage chafing, or blistering. The 100% leather construction means that at the end of a 12 or 14 hour work day your feet smell fine because they are able to breathe freely. Any other lining, including Gore-tex leaves your feet not smelling so sweet.
The only thing I would have had them do differently would have been to add an achilles notch in the top rear of the collar. Other than that, no complaints. I am glad Sierra offered these and if they become available again I will certainly buy another pair to alternate with these.
