[QUOTE="manitou, post: 2466973, member: 105280"] Many/most of the higher end hikers will have a stiff sole to aid in ascents, side hilling. The do make a big difference in the mountainous terrain out here... for the better. If you mainly hike flat terrain, then a flexible sole will suffice. Zamberlans, Meindl, Lowa Tibets, and Hoffmans all did well for me with little break in. The Lowas were probably the longest break in, but did well after a few hikes. The Zamberlan Wasatch pair are my current go-to for rough terrain and took zero break in. My opinion is thatthe Tibets are the best made but I am in between sizes on them. Size 12, I get toe bump descending mountains... next size up is too big. Bummer for me as I would use nothing but Tibets if it weren't for that. Whatever you do, wear your new boots inside every day for a while to make sure they work out for you. Once you wear them out and about, sellers won't exchange them. [/QUOTE]
