Ranked #715 - Men's Mountaineering Boots
September 30, 2009
i spend most of my free time hiking around in the southern nevada desert. the environment here is extremely hard on footwear. the rocks are jagged and razor sharp and stepping on cactus is almost unavoidable. i have been through many types and brands of boots over the years and have not been able to make a pair last more than a year or so. i bought these boots a couple of months ago and have about a hundred miles on them. the reviews are correct. buy them a half size bigger than you normally wear. they are stiff but break in readily. after getting used to the extra support it is more than welcome. ive already punished them and i can tell they are tough and resilient. they are relatively light but offer excellent foot protection. over all i think these are the best boots ive ever owned and expect to get several years of good comfortable service from them. furthermore they look frickin awesome! backcountry's service rocks too (bought the wrong size at first and the return/reorder process was pain free).
