Re-Soleable Leather Mountaineering Boot By ALICO Fan from Albuquerque, New Mexico on 03/08/2010 Pros: Ankle Support, Comfortable, Great Traction, Locally Re-soleable, Sturdy/Durable, Warm, Water Resistant Cons: Needs 3rd Prty Insole Best Uses: Any ConditionWeather, Everyday Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Daily Motorcycle commuter, excellent riding boot. Ultimate boot for rugged work or adventure. I sized to wear with both cotton and wool soxes (Winter - Summer feet stay comfortable and dry). Respectable local shoe repair can re-sole!!!
By adventureman from Planet Earth - Milky Way Galaxy on 03/03/2010 Pros: Ankle Support, Good Arch Support, Great Traction, Sturdy/Durable, Warm, Water Resistant Best Uses: Cold Weather, Day Hiking, Harsh Terrain, Heavy Loads, Long-Distance Hiking Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This is one of the few boots left that are constructed w/norwegian welt soles. Moulded boot soles are ok for light duty usage but when you want (need) a HD boot this is the one! Expect a long break-in - after which you will not want to take them off. Best endorsement? I bought a second pair while I still could because these will last the rest of my life. [...]
By Bergsteiger from Tennessee on 02/26/2010 Pros: Ankle Support, Comfortable, Good Arch Support, Great Traction, Sturdy/Durable, 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: I just received my Alico New Guide Mountaineering Hiking Boots! And I am ecstatic! I have worn a lot of different Hiking boots and none even come close to these boots. Some may consider them overkill for hiking, yet I enjoy the support they give my feet in any situation. With these boots I never have to wonder where my feet are or how they will react to the terrain.
I have been searching for these boots for several years. This is my 3rd pair in 30 years. I bought my first pair in Greece in 1980. They lasted for about 6 years with little care. I had no idea they would be so difficult to replace, but I had to hike for a year with inferior boots, until I found them again in Germany in 1987. The second pair I took much better care of. I have had them re-build 4 times while trying to locate another source. The cobber told on the 4th rebuild that they would not last much longer. Though they are in bad shape, I am still wearing them (23 years), and I do mean wearing them pretty much all the time (aside from at work). So needless to say I was very happy to find them at Sierra Trading Post.
Now my only question is why are they being "closed out"? If you want a boot that supports your feet and ankles under any condition as well as aiding you in being sure footed – this is that boot. 30 years – by choice I would wear no other boot.
