Lowa AL-T Orix Lo Hiking Shoe - Men's

Item #LOW0082 | 0 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Hum. ..

By Ranked #1074 - Men's Hiking Shoes February 5, 2009

Comfort-wise: 5 stars.
Durability-wise: 2 stars.
Need I say more? Okay, I will. The cool looking rubber outsoles that come up and form a cage around the foot tend to peel away fairly soon. The first pair I ordered was sent back within 1 week of simply walking around the block with the dog. The second pair is holding up much better BUT the rubber is de-laminating with these too, after only 2 months. For $120 you'd expect more. . .like two years of heavy use. Not the case here. Two months of light use and already thinking about replacement.
On the up side, the shoe is sooooooo comfortable. Truly the most comfortable hiker I've found. Merrell, Vasque are secondary to Lowa in the comfort dept.
