Praise vs. Criticism
Great boot
Bought for winter,needed something a little stiffer. Any stiffer and hiking is hard to a great boot with great support around the ankle with a great sole. For me as lightweight as you should expect for leather.
I'm really happy as I got them for a great price and they will mostly sit of the shelf as my main boot(Meindl Kansas GTX - Love this boot)is going to be worn most of the year.
Took a risk with fit but also with the brand as you see very little about them.

Heavy
This is a sturdy and well made boot with a great look. However, I'd be exhausted just wearing it up the stairs. It's like a diving boot it is so heavy. Shame, because otherwise it's a lovely boot.
