TOUGH LEATHER BOOTS, ALTHOUGH HOT IN SUMMER AND A LITTLE HEAVY.
They lasted me 3 years, protected my feet well. No major blisters while wearing them in and they suit my broad feet well.
Bit heavy and sweaty i guess thats the case with all gore footwear tho.
The rubber rand eventually started to split from the sole and they started to leak badly, (After 3 years!). Did the Cape Wrath Trail in them however.
Got foot sore if walking long distances on roads.
Would recommend them although i may try and get the non GTX version and just wear goretex socks if nessary. As they take an age to dry if they do get wet inside and the goretex makes them very warm.
I would recommend these boots for scrambling as they are great on rock, hill walking, and long distance routes.
