"An all-leather boot still made in Germany! Such a thing is rare these days. We were happy to see these dark brown beauties - even happier when we slipped them on. The all-leather liner is a special touch... instantly comfortable. Beefy alloy lace loops won't rust and a full rubber rand. These boots should last a long time, if cared for." -Vermont Sports

Lowa Baffin Pro
I recently purchased this boot, and out of all the boots I have tried, this boot has excellent construction and quality materials. The leather lining is definitely plush. Unfortunately, I had to return them as I have a narrow heel, and I just couldn't get the secure fit that you need to have to ward off blisters. I would definitely recommend anyone looking for a great backpacking boot to try this boot. If it fits, you can't go wrong. The toe box is more than ample and I have a "D"+ size width. No problems there.

Leather Interior
I opted out on this boot because I found the fit of the Tibet to be better. Otherwise it is a great boot. It is high fitting, so it provides a lot of stability. It has a leather lining, which might be a little warm for most in the winter. I like the spacious toe-box, as compared to the narrow Asolo. It is very comfortable around the ankle, and it doesn't close down too tight so that the lace-eyelets touch each other. The fit is typical for me. I usually wear a 10 or 10.5, but for Lowa I always take a 10.5. It is Nubuck, and the high rubber wall is durable for scuffs, etc.

Outstanding boots
I have put a 100 miles plus on these boots on the AT in the Smoky Mountains mostly with a 45lb pack. The ankle support, breathability, design, traction and overall quality are excellent, making hiking long rocky climbs and crossing creeks a breeze. I particularly like the soft leather lining that makes them exceptionably comfortable to wear. With a dressing of good quality leather preservative they are as waterproof as Gore-tex. I expect to put many more miles on these outstanding boots.
