Ranked #56 - Men's Mountaineering Boots
February 10, 2012
I live in Alaska and do quite a bit of hiking. I bought these boots in the summer of 2005 for my 6 week geology field course. I'll admit it took a long time to break them in, but once they were, well I wear them everywhere. I wear them in the winter when it's not too cold, the summer when it's not too hot, and all the time the rest of the year. It's now 2012 and I still wear these boots all the time. However, I noticed while hiking this past summer that there is near zero stiffness left in the ankle support; so I decided to finally buy a new pair. They were a winter holiday gift to myself so I could start the long break in period and be ready for summer!
