My favorite boots to date. These boots are actually made by Raichle...a European boot manufacturer and have apparently been marketed under a number of other brand names. The pair I own were purchased at REI and labeled REI Spirit III's. REI stopped carrying the boot soon after I made the purchase and I was distressed when I thought that they had been discontinued...But now I'm happy to find that they are still in production. These boots have been through many miles in all conditions from hot, dry, deserts to cold, snowy, mountains and they always keep my feet happy. I love the rigid sole and comforting ankle support that this boot offers. I have no blisters to report...only minor hot spots probably due more to my choice in socks than anything else. The toe cap offers a lot more protection for your front end and helps immensely with kicking steps in the snow. I love these boots!
