None After struggling with a pair of Montrail Moraine AT''s that ate up my heels, and were way too heavy, and never broke in, I wisened up and bought these gems. Actually, my friend bought them first so I owe it to him. THese boots have enough support to take a load, yet flex enough to climb. I recommend seam gripping the seams and double Nikwax them when they''re brand new and clean. Otherwise, the leather WILL get wet, though you won''t. There are a few seams, but that is to be expected with a boot this light weight. They really are an EXCELLENT compromise between weight and support. And, I wore them RIGHT AWAY with no break in and no pain. I utterly boast and recommend these boots for anyone, for dayhiking or backpacking. They also have ball bearings in the first few eyelets, making lacing a BREEZE. Trust me, do yourself a favor and get these boots. THey are the BOMB. AND, THEY''RE IN THE CLEARANCE BIN ON THE LOWA WEBSITE RIGHT NOW!!! 139.00!!! I PAID FRIGGIN'' FULL PRICE!!! THANK ME LATER.... I got mine a half size large and put Superfeet in them. The stock footbeds suck. THese Lowas seem to have a narrow toe box, and I wear liners and Smartwool most of the time with these anyway. These boots make me SO HAPPY;) Customer Service Haven''t needed it yet Similar Products Used: Montrail Moraine AT, Asolo ???(they shrunk on me) |
