Great Boot until they get some age on them.  They are engineered to fall apart.  The rubber sole glue gives up after a couple of years.  I have owned two pairs and both have done the same thing. It let me down on the trail and I had to hike out off the trail 7 miles to get replacement boots.

LOWA said sorry, offered a discount to buy new ones.  I don't want a replacement unless its free. Still I won't trust the boot for anything other than a day hike and these are way toe expensive for day hikers.
