By Rocky Backpacker from MT on 08/20/2009 Pros: Ankle Support, Arch Support Best Uses: Harsh Terrain, Heavy Loads, Long-Distance Hiking Describe Yourself: Backpacker Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: The US 7.5 fit my left foot perfectly. A very comfortable, stiff boot great for serious backpacking and off trail, rocky trail use. My right foot needs a roomy toebox to accomadate a big toe joint. These boots almost fit the bill. It was just a bit snug and they wouldn't have stretched with use. I tried an 8, but it felt smaller, I tried an 8.5 and it was definitely a size too large. A potentially great boot, great toe room, but not quite a fit for me.
By Return to wilderness after 9 years from San Luis Obispo, CA on 08/11/2009 Pros: Ankle Support, Great Traction, Sturdy/Durable, Warm, Water Resistant Cons: Long Break-in, My heel slips Best Uses: Day Hiking, Harsh Terrain, Heavy Loads, Long-Distance Hiking, Wet Conditions Describe Yourself: Casual/Recreational Sizing: Feels half size too big, Feels too large Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This is a very well-made, stiff, rugged boot. I need a stiffer boot for my loose ankles which are prone to sprains. A stiff boot will take longer to break in...and my heels do slip and rub so I'll be wearing moleskin. But I accept this trade-off for the stability. I have a 'low-volume' foot with a shallow arch, so I added SuperFeet hikers, tongue padding, and mid-weight SmartWool Hiker socks. With these additions, these boots now fit me well. I also have a slightly wider foot, but not a full "C" width and these boots fit me fine in width. (Montrails were too narrow for me) I"m wearing these boots on a 3 mile backpacking trip with a 40 pound pack in southern Yosemite.
Raichle boots are my favorite By Nik from Davis, CA on 07/01/2009 Pros: Ankle Support, Arch Support, Comfortable/No Break-In, Flexible, Great Traction, Sturdy/Durable, Water Resistant Best Uses: Day Hiking, 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: Raichle makes great boots for a wider foot. If you prefer shoes with a wider footbed, such as Birkenstocks, give Raichle boots a try. These are super comfortable and lightweight backpacking boots.
