These boots are the best. I had a pair of leather hikers for 6+ years that Raichle made for REI and they were great. I was please to discover that Raichle is now making quality boots for Mammut which is also a solid company. These boots have all the bells and whistle for someone who is looking for a serious hiking boot just shy of a mountaineering boot. The leather is very soft inside and out. I am a huge fan of the rubber rand all the way around the boot, as this is precisely where my last boots wore out. These boots blow any other high line boot out of the water by avoiding unnecessary design and new age nylon "solutions" to waterproofing, treat the leather properly and they will really work for you. The only con I can think of is there are four lace hooks up the ankle which is a bit odd but I can get over it for an otherwise perfectly constructed boot.

Nice looking boot, to be sure- but it's a shame they went for a cheap EVA midsole. Using leather instead of nylon is moot if the midsole won't last. Inexcusable for a boot in this price range and weight class to take the cheap EVA route instead of using PU. Good for infrequent users, I suppose.
