I have been wearing Lowas for 15 years - they are super comfortable.  This boot upper is much stiffer than older styles, but still more comfortable and easy to break in than other brands.  I wish Lowa would give you more room in the toe box for the little toes (ouch) and make the soles more durable (soles wear out quickly).  I wear these every day for commuting in the city so I don't have to worry about rain or snow or whatever life throws at me - if they were a little more comfortable in the toe box, and more durable on the soles, I would buy another pair.  As it is, I'm hoping to find something else for daily wear.  If I could find a Lowa for daily wear, I would prefer it because the way the boot is made inside is so comfortable, but I need more toe room also.

Update after looking at other shoes / boots for several weeks/months(???). These are still the most comfortable boots I have ever found, so I had the toe stretched and now they are perfect!!
