Hanwag alaskan gtx just buy them! - Hanwag Alaska GTX Backpacking Boots - Men's

Own many brands of high end boots several Lowa, Kenetrek, Zamberlan Tofane.
The Hanwags were the most instantly supportive and comfortable of all and price was lower than most in my boot collection. I am a 12 Medium and these fit perfectly in size 12 M.
Usually have trouble with 7 inch high boots chafing my legs but these are kid glove leather lined = super comfortable.
Built very solidly like climbing in a heavy duty ORV -you feel confident facing anything.
Good balance between stiffness/support and comfort. The ball bearing lower laces allow easy tightening of this area and is a great feature.
Love these boots. Just buy them!
