Great boot!

by KarlosJ83, Gear Expert from UT, United States Written on September 10, 2011
These boots are great. Basically no break in period and the grip on trails is great! I love these boots. I wish the outer wasn't suede, but its easy to clean and scratches don't show as easily as smooth leather. They fit great and are very comfortable. Hiking loaded they provide great support but aren't uncomfortably stiff.
Most Helpful Positive Review I love the Kailash
The Kailash seems to have more mixed reviews than I'd expect, but I have tried on dozens and dozens of hiking boots and they remain my favorite. I've owned a couple pairs. The GTX is still 100% waterproof in the first pair I bought 4 years ago, and durability is about average...any boot with stitching on the side will give out sooner than an all-leather boot with no stiching. I guess they stiffened up the mid-sole in 2014 and later models...I notice maybe a 10% difference over the first pair I purchased. It's a true mid-weight boot...could be used for light packs, and great for trekking and ha...

Excellent shoes

by VV, from WA, United States Written on June 30, 2015
I wore it around the house for few minutes, and took it straight to Mt. Dickerman in the North Cascades (elevation gain of about 4000 feet). My feet felt very comfortable, stable, and secure. Although it was a super hot day, my feet did not get super sweaty. No blisters or major issues at the end of the hike. No break-in was needed.

Great Boot

This boot performs better than any I've had of its type. Great ankle support and overall durability. Good for all 4 seasons and doesn't dissapoint when you put it to the test.

Boots were snug, CampSaver is amazing!

by Tall Dennis, Written on September 10, 2013
To be fair, I have wide feet with high arches and arthritis starting in one arch. I searched exhaustively for a good quality, wide hiking boot for my trip to New Zealand, and the Kailash GTX was one of the very few I could find. It is an absolutely beautiful, well-made shoe. But sadly, my arthritic foot needed something even wider. I returned this boots and CampSaver gave me fast, full refund. I e

Comfort Rules

by Chuck, Written on September 10, 2013
Boots were a joy to wear from the first time I put them on. Had two 10 mile hikes in the first month I had them. No time to break them in but had zero problems. Fit is perfect and shoe feels great on my feet. I really like the stability they give me on rough trails.

Very good hiking boot

by Carrying Hope!, Written on September 10, 2013
I've been on several 6 - 8 miles, rocky, climbing hikes in the past month, and they have caused no hot spots. They are comfortable and provide good support. I've been breaking them in for a trip to Nepal, but they have not needed "breaking-in". Comfortable from the start.

Great Boot from Great store

by happyhiker, from NJ, United States Written on March 3, 2013
Received first pair and they were too narrow. Campsaver made the exchange a pleasure taking away all earlier worry of ordering boots on-line. The wider boots were great. Six mile hike right out of the box, barely noticed I wasn't in my old fully broken in boots. Can't comment on durability yet, but the boots and the whole Campsaver experience have exceeded expectations.

No complaints here.

by Magellan's Guid, Written on September 10, 2011
I plan on using these babies for future backpacking trips. While these backpacking ventures haven't happened yet, I have worn my Scarpas on a few hikes now. They need breaking in at the beginning, but not extensively. They are initially comfortable and surprisingly light. The toe box is slightly smaller than expected, but if you get the right size that won't be a grave concern.
I love 'em. I'

"Best boot I've ever owned"

by Bob, from MD, United States Written on September 10, 2011
A great multi-day backpacking boot -- not too heavy and tough enough to handle all terrain in all sorts of weather conditions. Without a doubt the best lug sole I've ever experienced.

My Scarpa Kailish GTX are excelent!

by Biggs, Written on September 10, 2011
These boots rock! I wore them around the house for a couple days before doing The Decalibron (Mt Democrat, Mt Cameron, Mt Lincoln and Mt Bross) which is 13 miles and 3,700 ft gain in 6.5 hours. These boots still felt good after all that! They got a little dusty though. Cant wait to get them out for the next 14er. I usually wear a 10.5 US. Sometimes a 10, but rarely an 11. So based on the rev
