For me, a hiking boot should: be equipped Waterproof, comfortable, durable and with good sole. That's why I was looking for a shoe full leather without frills such as "ventilation window". It was my first not in the business of purchased shoes and I'm thrilled: Despite high instep and lowering splay, dressed, suits, pressed nowhere. Particularly noteworthy are the simple on and off through the wide opening possibility. Further positive that has been set even when the tongue on leather instead of textile parts. Without the shoe to respond I immediately made a 14km hike in the mountains. The shoe is in high comfort enough lateral support and the sole has grip on the forest floor as well as on rock. Satisfied Feet: No pressure points, the precaution entrained bubble Plaster remained in the backpack. A hiking boot, the search for a stroll, to mushrooms, can be rendered to middle mountain tours, at this price: Absolute buy recommendation!
