these boots feel best when i laced them for uphill/downhill. took only a day or two to break in and are rigid enough for long hikes, but roll with the foot enough for daily use

Comments about Lowa Camino GTX FreeFlex Hiking Boots - Men's:

These boots are the greatest. I've honestly bought nearly 7 pairs of boots and had almost $1500 in product at my home so that I can get the perfect pair of boots.
All the Italian boots were too narrow and my toes were stacked on each other. Which is interesting because the boots felt great in the store and at home. I guess I just don't "feel it" when my toes are stacked but after hiking for a few miles, I get hot spots.
The Lowa boot fits awesome. My 2nd toe is longer than my big toe so the shape of the boot is important to me otherwise it gets beat up on downhill. This didn't happen with the Lowa. Right out of the box it fit great.
To say there is no break-in time would be incorrect. If you compare to some stiff Italian leather boot, the break-in time is about half, but you can't just grab these boots out of the box and hike 50 miles in them with a pack.
Regarding the sole, I too found my sole was damaged after 50 miles in Whitney. It's a little disconcerting. BUT! I can always get REI to replace the sole if it wears prematurely. The sole getting chewed up is not the end of the world if the traction is good, and on these boots the traction isn't just good, it's great. I was hiking on ice, snow, granite and everything else you can imagine.
I'd rather take the softer sole over a hard and slippery sole. Plus the softer sole allows for reduced break in time and greater flex, which is what this boot is all about.
The boot flexes and moves with my foot wonderfully.
Anyway, I love these things. They are the greatest boots I've ever owned, they look great and fit great. And REI helped me to get the perfect size because I had to buy 2 in order to figure out which size was perfect for me. Thanks REI!

Comments about Lowa Camino GTX FreeFlex Hiking Boots - Men's:

I have been a Lowa fan for years and was excited when I saw these boots on the shelf at REI. So I bought them for an upcoming trip and wore them out for a "break in hike" that weekend. When I got home I noticed two things: 1. how nicely they wore right out of the box and 2. how much wear the sole showed after just 10 miles. A few weeks later I wore them on an 8 day hike and the soles all but fell apart. Big chucks of the lugs came off and pieces of rubber were hanging off of the sides of the sole after just a few days. Now keep in mind this was just trail walking and not cross country or scrambling so you can make your own call on durability. In closing, the boots, or what is left of them anyway, are going back to the store. Lowa missed the target here with too soft of a sole for the intended use.

Comments about Lowa Camino GTX FreeFlex Hiking Boots - Men's:

After use it on a wooded trail of 50 km ... I must say that the comfort is almost instant and no required to break... For cons, the sole is too soft for the rocky trails or hard surfaces. The boot is lightweight and comfortable with a whole load of less than 25 pounds. Keep your feet dry. For the price this pair of boots should offer much more. Fortunately, the yaw system is very effective.
