I love these

By Gregory Stamey Ranked #718 - Men's Backpacking Boots March 11, 2009

These boots are of the best quality. I broke these in with about 30 miles. I treated them with Nikwax waterproofing and I found out how waterproof they are. On a 5 day backpacking trip in the Andes, the first couple of days were very wet. The feet stayed dry the whole time even when a wrong step dunked a boot up to the ankle, no moisture inside. The Banff has a leather lining and is very soft and molds right to the foot. The lacing system is great and I could get a very snug fit without cutting off any circulation. The Banff does'nt use a lot of high tech materials like some others trying to push some mechanical sounding suspension system it just uses very fine grade leather and traditional engineering. These are a little heavy but they are durable and you can carry a good amount of weight because these are not hikers they are for backpacking. Comfort is number one for me and I have not been let down by these even after a couple of hundred miles. True to size also, and Lowa runs for narrow feet.
