Great Boots!!!

By Rider of Rohan Ranked #434 - Women's Footwear May 28, 2009

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!
