Average boot; substandard sole By Hiking Fool from Great Smokies on 07/10/2008 Pros: Comfortable/No Break-In, Water Resistant Cons: Not Durable/ Wears Easily Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I like the tanned leather as I feel it's easier and cheaper to maintain than nubuck or reversed grain. I also appreciate the largely single piece construction of the upper. The tongue lacks bellows which allows more debris than usual to get inside the boot. I've never understood why boot manufacturers almost always insist on having a leather internal collar -- as is the case here. Invariably, the leather cracks as a result of perspiration, especially if the boots are used for extended backpacking trips. This is easily avoided by running fabric up to the cuff. Even more confounding is the allegiance these boot manufacturers have to Vibram brand soles. The "pieced" Vibram soles on these Raichles began separating on the first off-trail hike on which I wore them. Since then, traversing rocky headlands on the Olympic Wilderness Coast has led to even greater chunks of tread pulling loose. Over the years this is the pathetic level of durability I've come to expect from Vibram soles. The old Skywalk soles on certain Vasque products were far superior, but today Vibram seems inexplicably to have the market cornered.
By Tech Teacher from Ann Arbor on 07/07/2008 Pros: Accommodate orthotics, Ankle Support, Arch Support, Comfortable/No Break-In, Flexible, Sturdy/Durable, Water Resistant Best Uses: Day Hiking, Everyday, Wet Conditions Describe Yourself: Casual/Recreational Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Because I require a roomy foot box, I decided to go with the men's version. In fact, I tried on, for size, a friend's newly purchased hikers into which she had installed her customized orthotics. Instantly, I was able to realize that this pair of hikers was for me. She told me that she had purchased two pairs of the Raichle Mt. hikers on sale at the STP.
I wore my hikers inside my house (just in case), but no need to return the pair. In fact, they were comfortable and provided much needed stability. I nearly forgot I was wearing them!
Great everyday boot for outdoorsmen By Moonlightcrusier from White Mountains of Arizona on 07/07/2008 Pros: Arch Support, Great Traction, Sturdy/Durable, Water Resistant Best Uses: Everyday, Harsh Terrain, Long-Distance Hiking, Wet Conditions Describe Yourself: Professional/Guide Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I work in the log woods of Ariz and use this type of boot pretty much everyday while hiking on <40% slopes. I like the lightweight boot with good traction & a firm sole with moderate ankle support...S.T.P. is the best place to shop for boots as far as I am concerned...allott of co-workers think so too!!!
