I have this hiking boot can now test on two 30 km of tours in the Harz and am very satisfied. The fit is excellent, the German sizes are fit good in my opinion. After impregnation with Sno Seal (before the first tour) the shoes were completely waterproof despite poor weather conditions. The foot air in combination with a medium thick woolen sock is quite warm, but not unpleasant and therefore particularly well suited for colder days. Small deductions there in the insole (very thin and little damping) and the outsole of Vibram. While this has a sufficiently rough profile, is on wet or icy bodies still quite slippery. Under the bottom line, a strong buy recommendation, the price-performance ratio is super. And the design is finally in my eyes also very well done.
