    I love my LOWAs. Only thing I did was chuck out the standard inner sole, and put in a memory foam inner due to my mongrel feet.

    They have taken 4 years of abuse, and are just starting to show signs of it. But that is mainly because over the last year I have been lazy with keeping them conditioned, and hence the leather is cracking at the crease.

    Will definitely get another pair once these ones die.
    I love all animals.........especially with gravy

    How do you Lowa boys find em for weight ? I weighed a pair of Tibet's & one boot was 1060g ( stated-1800g a pair in their catalog ) which is pretty bloody heavy compared to my Vas @ around 700g each
    but must admit that those Tibets do have one tough looking high cupping sole
    Shoot it, root it & then BBQ it !!!
