not what you expect

By mark Ranked #225 - Men's Winter Boots and Shoes September 26, 2011

I have bought the 2007 model and I have loved these boots as my feet were always dry and warm, the design very modern and even despite the lace problem, which is a definitive con: The lace hooks were so sharp, that I went through quite a number of lace pairs (during a continuous use about 2 a week!). Another very big con was, that only after about three years of use (during this time all together a max. of about 3 to 5 months of wearing time) the shoes fell literally apart. The seams came off the lower rubber part and also the sole came off on one of the shoes. As this happened during a snowy hike in the Alps this was extra disappointing. My retailer in Germany told me that Kamik improved the problems with this shoe but even though, I loved the boot while it was working, I kind of lost my trust in Kamik with this model; especially after I read a review on the recent 2011 Patriot 3 boot, where someone also reported the problem about the laces.
