i am a male 6'2" 200 lbs,will be doing about 20 miles backpacking in Hawaii a month from now with about 35 lb. pack. I have slightly narrow,low to medium volume feet (size 13/47). Need enough support/stiffness without too much boot weight. also there are some sections of the trail which are a loose-gravel type of rock/dirt where the trail is only a foot wide with a life-threatening steep dropoff on one side and cliff wall on the other, meaning confidence in my boot's sole/traction is a MUST. so far i like what i have read about the Kailash. other boots i have been considering (from reviews only so far) are Montrail Torre , and maybe a couple of Vasque boots. i would greatly appreciate your helpful advice ! thanks ...

Here's some advice everyone should take. The best thing you can do when deciding on a new pair of boots is to TRY THEM ON. This isn't a stove or a water filter where you're only concern is the performance of the product. Fit matters. As to the original question, an Asolo Fugitive or FSN 95 would be comparable as would a Vasque Breeze and possibly a Wasatch. Best bet is to try them on and then make a decision.
