Raichle Mt. Trail XT GTX Tested

I've owned some of these for about three years now and, maybe it's just me, but I find it impossible to get the gusset of the tongue to 'fold up' properly at the sides when lacing them up - it always seems to end up a complete mess. It's not actually a problem to wear, but it looks really awful!

Other than that, they're very good boots, and they've taken me comfortably up places as diverse as Kilimanjaro, Snowdon, the Black Mountains, plus numerous days knocking around the rugged terrain of the Cotswolds

I alternate between a pair of these & my Keen Targhee II mids most of the year (depending on terrain, weather etc). I think I'd still stick with my Meindl Mountain Crack's for crampon work in winter though.

I've just got some orange boots for kick-arse winter stuff though.

Spider, my 'gusset' isn't always especially neat either , but it doesn't really matter.
