I bought these boots for a backpacking trip in 1994. I am still wearing these boots today...seriously they are on my feet at this very moment! lol They have been around the world with me...the trails of New Zealand to the mountains of Alaska....through rain, mud and snow. I have a medium width foot and these were comfortable right out of the box (not one blister!) Absolutely the best...most comfortable hiking boot I've ever worn.  While I am still wearing these boots...they are very well worn and do now need replacing. I recently bought a pair of the Vasque Wasatch...I like these boots too, but they are a heavier boot and not as comfortable as my Sundowner's. I hope Vasque will still have these available in another 20 years when I will be ready for yet another pair!
