“The Way A Boot is Supposed to be Made”

“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!!!”
