Customer Reviews Lowa Camino GTX TF

I love these boots! They're excellent for people with narrow feet and a narrow forefoot, but there are some trade-offs. PROS: - Comfort: Very comfortable (for narrow feet). They have adequate cushioning and good foot protection for rough trails. They might require some break-in, depending on your feet. - Support & stability: Very stable feel. I love the high cuffs, thick leather and excellent lacing system with seven sets of hooks. Helps protect ankles and keeps the foot in place when going downhill. - Durable: I've hiked in mine for two years and they're still going strong; no defects yet. - Waterproof: Rain, mud & slush no problem. I haven't submerged them in a stream though. CONS: - Weight: They're heavy. That's the trade-off for a durable, tough, stable boot. These are overkill for short hikes or easy trails. - Breathability: The leather is not as breathable as boots with some mesh. I have sweaty feet but I've never felt too hot in these, although I usually hike in cooler weather. If you do most of your hiking in a hot climate, this might be an issue for you. -Appearance: Not fancy, but they look like what they are: a serious boot. - Traction: Good usually, but quite slippery on wet rocks. -Soles: They are stiff which adds stability on uneven terrain and you won't get sore feet going over tough trails, but the stiffness does diminish feel for the terrain.
