I purchased these boots because of a previous, very positive experience I'd had with Lowa.  A pair or travel shoes I got for a 3 week trip to Egypt turned out to be not only stylish, but the most comfortable shoe that you can imagine.  They were advertised as not requiring break-in time and they lived up to the promise.  So, thought I'd give Lowa a try once again.  And, I must say, I am not sorry.

I ordered these boots on 4/24, received them with free shipping on 4/27, and wore them on a 7 mile hike on 4/28.  They were as comfortable as my other Lowas, and stylist to boot.  They held the ground well while hiking up dirt trails and were comfortable while walking down steep embankments.  Athough my feet tend to be slightly narrow, especially in the heel, the toe bed had a little extra room, which added to the comfort.  I could not have asked for a more positive purchase experience.

Love these boots!
