[QUOTE="Nvhunter, post: 667707, member: 11885"] My vote is Lowa. This is a great boot. I have the Hunter insulated. I packed 35 miles in 6 days beginning at 7500 feet, base camp at 9500 feet and hunt area extends up to 10200 feet two winters ago. Low temps of 17f to high temps of 65f. Great support, excellent temperature control. Sheds mud and snow in the cleat very well. This boot kept my feet dry and comfortable while crossing streams, while snow was constantly on the uppers, during heavy hiking and while sitting still for long periods of time. The high sidewalls are very durable and resist cutting in the sharp rocks and scree piles that we often traverse at the 10000 feet level. By the way - I weigh 240 and pack a 60 pound pack 7 miles into the wilderness to base camp. I pack light once in base camp. That is a LOT of abuse on the old dogs. Even with that pounding, no hot spots or blisters. I hope that experience report helps. [/QUOTE]
