Hi there. If you need some help deciding what boots are best for you, get in contact with us to get some professional help.
I purchased these boots about a month ago and have been extremely impressed by them, my first walk was in the snow, my feet stayed warm and dry (but I was wearing waterproof socks as a precaution due to getting wet feet in previous boots).
Second hike was in one of the wettest places in Tasmania, where most of the tracks are full of water, (again with waterproof socks) and again my feet stayed warm and dry.. traction on them was a bit slippery, but they were new boots and I was still wearing them in...
My last hike was in ice and snow at Cradle Mountain, and this time I only wore my thin hiking socks and my feet were warm and dry the whole 3 days we were there with one hike we were in ankle deep water for around an hour or more, and while everyone else had wet and cold feet, I was nice and dry and happy!

Just awesome!
Key reasons for this is the awesome Vibram Apptrail sole, its lug design is self-cleaning, which means you have better grip for longer periods, the “Lowa Flex” -floating lace system makes these boats extremely comfortable and the 5mm to 3mm nylon midsole creates a solid platform to stand on and provide great support for your foot, as well as piece of mind, that when running, your steps are going to hold even in steep uneven ground. I also found wearing them with the super comfy Thorlo socks helped with wearing them in, as usually with new shoes or boots I get horrendous blisters, but even after a 2 hour walk the first time I was out in them, I had no pressure sores or blisters which were awesome. This is due to the padding the socks provide in the forefoot and heal. We've been out in the bush testing them out for 6 months now and there's no way I'm going back to that red ban tan line.
I purchased these boots about a month ago and have been extremely impressed by them, my first walk was in the snow, my feet stayed warm and dry (but I was wearing waterproof socks as a precaution due to getting wet feet in previous boots).
Second hike was in one of the wettest places in Tasmania, where most of the tracks are full of water, (again with waterproof socks) and again my feet stayed warm and dry.. traction on them was a bit slippery, but they were new boots and I was still wearing them in...
My last hike was in ice and snow at Cradle Mountain, and this time I only wore my thin hiking socks and my feet were warm and dry the whole 3 days we were there with one hike we were in ankle deep water for around an hour or more, and while everyone else had wet and cold feet, I was nice and dry and happy!
