The problem is the insole. This provides far too little "grip" / halt and so you will slide far too often to the front. The material appears to be made of silk, absolutely no maintenance. When walking downhill you have to pull the shoe extremely strong either, or you come permanently to the toes scratch. And the front of the shoe is, like everywhere, quite hard. Rather hard way, is also the deposit, which would have spoken against because some attenuation? The included insert provides zero cushioning comfort. An unpleasant Beigeschmackt has all for me because Lowa even offering alternative deposits and eliminate them almost every problem. Why but must spend at a shoe for 200 Euros again 50 euros for deposits ... I cope any honest with abdominal pain. Expected class of boots a slightly thinner sole have (I can drive me them a car, or let's say not sure because I get stuck at the "foot off the accelerator" on the brake) and the total of his little easier: Apart from these inconveniences from should, in addition, he is on virtually any terrain good use (asphalt but with muted deposit!) and, above all, really tight. Oh yes, real leather, which will be maintained.
