Amazing hiking boot - Scarpa SL Active Backpacking Shoes - Men's

These boots are amazing for back packing and general mountaineering. Through the years I have owned Danner Mountain Light, Italian Vasque Sundowners, Vasque Montana's, Merril Wilderness, Zamberlan Vioz, Asolo 520GV, Scarpa Kinesis GTX, and Limmer’s custom standard boots. I believe these are my favorite. They do not have a goretex liner so they seem breathe better and you don’t have to worry about the liner failing you in the field. They are made of a silicone impregnated 2.8 mm leather and are incredibly waterproof/bombproof. The Kinesis is nice but the leather is much softer, slightly thinner, and there is the goretex thing. They also did not hold up as well as these.
