[QUOTE="Yotekiller, post: 1568021, member: 34106"] I'm no boot expert but I can offer what I do know from experience. Soloman Quest did not require any break in, were comfortable right out of the box, and a good choice for general hiking. They were not the most durable and did not have a stiff enough shank for an extreme mountaineering boot. Lowa mountain experts have been very durable stiff boots that are heavier but are holding up well. It took a lot of miles to break them in but they should last for a lot more miles as well. I have learned that I need a full shank mountaineering boot for the heavy and steep or my feet don't hold up. In flatter country carrying less weight I would rather have the lighter less rigid boot. Choice between brands would largely be made on how well they fit. For durability I would look for something with a high rubber rand. [/QUOTE]
