Lowa  Tibet Evo GTX Hiking Boots - Men's

These are great boots. Very comfortable. No goretex. They breath. No wet socks at the end of the day. Great lacing eyes and hooks. The Achilles heel flex joint is great — never a sore tendon. The height reduces dirt and debris that falls into the boot. I use them on asphalt, mountain trails, hunting off trail hiking, and heavy work. Mine are 5 years old. They need new soles.

The Lowa Tibet is a comfortable, very well-made backpacking boot. But they no longer re-sole them in Germany, and the cobbler they refer you to (Daub's) is much more expensive. Lowa's resoling was comprehensive (sole, midsole, new rand, new laces, new insoles, reconditioning leather), all for $165. Daub's resoling (sole, midsole, rand, laces, insoles, shipping & handling) doesn't include any reconditioning of the leather and is $278 plus tax. At that price, you're better off just buying a new pair of boots on sale, or with one of the periodic REI coupons. The selling point, apart from the well-made comfort, was the re-sole in Germany (up-front expense, boots for life). Nope. No longer. I will never buy another Lowa boot.

I own the previous version (Tibet GTX) in 11.5 wide. Wanted to buy another pair, but the Evo is the new version and doesn't come in a wide. The last employed in this version is supposed to have a wider toe box. When I tried them on in the store with the socks I usually wear, they were very snug. Despite REI's excellent return policy, cannot depend on breaking the boots in to get the fit I need when my foot expands during 1 15-20 mile hike. I will take good care of the old version I have now and will send to Lowa for a resole this winter.

Been using this for many years. It hold up fairly good for what I do for work which is off trail hike. It last for 3-5 years for 3-5 miles hike per day.

3 pairs, the soles keep coming off. It's a nice boot but not for this price $455 when they don't stay together.

I have been wearing a pair of these dang near 7 days a week for two years minus a month when I was in the hospital ICU. These boots have held up superbly, and are incredibly comfortable. I have sensitive feet that were crushed in an industrial accident, so a bad boot is unbearable. These boots are all day all night comfort. Well worth the money.

The new lacing post appearing on the boot Tongue is worthless. The flat style device used on this boot in the past worked to keep the Tongue centered and pulled up as it should be. The rest of the boot is fine but won't be buying another Asolo due to the new lacing post.
