Before you load that heavy pack onto your back, pull on and lace up your Lowa Women's Korba GTX Backpacking Boots. The Korba Boots feature Gore-Tex liners to help your feet stay dry as you venture through shallow snow fields, cross streams, or get rained on during your July Rocky Mountain trip. Shock-absorbing PU midsoles cushion and support your feet, and Lowa added TPV inserts that help control over-pronation and supination, so you can walk longer with less fatigue. Vibram Tsavo soles are torsionally stiff for backpacking, and multidirectional lugs give you purchase on roots, logs, dirt, and rock. *Available for shipment in the US only.
Bottom Line: Don't go backpacking without the proper footwear.
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.
Great Boots!!!

Tried both and couldn't believe I chose these over the Lowa Tibets after reading all the reviews. These boots fit true to size, managing to fit well both at the beginning of the day and after the inevitable foot swell. Lots of room in the toe so that toes don't make contact with the front of the boot on extreme downhill portions. But this is designated toe space and it doesn't cause the foot to slide fore and aft in the boot. I've never really needed to break in boots, and once again I felt that these were great right out of the box. Excellent support yet light as air. Feel like slippers that I could do anything in. The other boot I fell in love with was the Asolo Sasslong, but the Lowa's have better toe space for the downhill. After backpacking the Pyrenees with a 50+ lb pack (couldn't leave the grappling hook behind!) in inadequate hiking boots I've learned to take the difference between x-train/hiking boots and backpacking boots seriously. I look forward to many happy years with these boots!
