Rugged Comfort! - These boots are amazingly tough, comfort out of the box with a very short break-in period. I've owned boots by Lowa, Gronell, Garmont, & Alico and as long as these boots are made I won’t buy anything else. I can tell from the quality of this boot it will be years before I need another pair. My last hike in the Gila mid May 2008, 68 miles with 65lbs. included rocky desert, 70+ river crossings & icy conditions with snow to my knees for miles, I was glad these boots were on my feet, they were never cold or uncomfortable. These boots really hug your feet all over, no slop, roomy toe box, a good stiff sole, and the adjustable tongue allows for a custom fit. With arthritis in my big toe I've never had a boot that’s kept my feet comfy over extended trips until now. I'd say these boots are overkill if your day hiking, or hiking on groomed trails with a light pack, but if you’re out with a heavy load on uneven terrain or bushwhacking, and like dry feet, buy these boots! By the way I put in a new footbed.

Very comfortable! - Very good boot, very comfortable. I'm happy with the support as a medium climbing boot. I've not used it in heavy rocks. I still prefer another thicker boot. One small detail: the Vibram yellow design on the toe - needs to go. It looks stupid. I think I'll just cut it off.

4040 EXPERT GT RR
The 4040 EXPERT GT mountaineering boot also doubles as heavyweight backpacking boot designed for carrying heavy packs on rugged and extreme terrain. Handcrafted from Hydrobloc treated, premium water-resistant Perwanger leather with a waterproof, breathable GORE-TEX® liner, this boot will keep your feet dry and comfortable in the most worst conditions. The full-wrap rubber rand also protects against sharp rocks, branches or exposed roots. Careful lasting, sculptured padding and the F.W.S. (full wrap system) construction of the Upper will keep your feet snug and provide a secure and comfortable fit. The crampon compatible VIBRAM® Vertige sole and Carbon Flex midsole makes the boot stiff and stable ensuring excellent traction in uneven and rocky terrain.
