Well, I bought a pair of Tibets three field Seasons ago after doing a web search for Off Trail Backpacking Boots. I had a temporary hitch in my giddyup and had decided to buy some better boots (I had been rolling in work boots from the feed store for several field seasons). Anyway I am wearing the Tibets right now. Tread maybe is a bit worn. The waterproofing has worn off of course... They are still in fair shape though. I followed those up (but never threw out the originals) with a pair of Hunters and they seem pretty good now, sliced them a bit on some obsidian but otherwise they look pretty good still, though have been spraying herbicide in them so they have a bit of blue dye. I tend to wear my field boots as my main shoes period. Something I carried over from only having one pair of tennis shoes at a time as a kid. So mine tend to get worn out faster. Anyway I just bought a second pair of Tibets a few minutes ago. I recommend them, they seem to keep my feet better protected so I can hike difficult terrain for work. I find them really comfortable and good when new. After the tread wears down and the waterproofing wears off (a year or two with daily use) it might be a good idea to replace them. The newer ones seem to do a better job for me. No need to spend a lot of time breaking these in, they are good right out of the box. You might want to wear them for a few light duty days before rolling on a backpacking trip with them. If you don't use your boots a lot, a pair of these or of the Hunters could last you a very long time.

well..actually i have nothing to say, Lowa boots almost has no cons ))
initially i bought Lowa Ranger, they performed well in Altay conditions. also i used them when hunting in Russia in winter. i was amazed by the quility and decided to buy Lowa Tibet which is almost the same model bot for little bit worse conditions. so everything i mentioned below about Ranger could be applied for Tibet. at the moment i just got package with Tibets and reluctant to use them on hunting because ..they look so new and good ))
what features i think are especially good:
- easy to put on and put off
- very convenient to wear. my brother also took Tibets and use them even in day to day life in winter. especally if temperature is -20c
- very durable. i do not use any impregnation. very often i do not even wash em )) but they r still in perfect condition
- holds foot ideally. walked using them across the rotes which has sportive grades. my backpack was 34kg. there was no path ar all. in the beginning there were small pieces of rock. after 7 km they became 2 meters in diameter. completely wild place. 120 kms to neares village. everyone in team is devastated. one wrong step and you can crush your leg (i mentioned pieces of rock). i am sure if i took my old Vasque boots i will probably hit my leg. after buying Lowa i mad my Vasque boots as spare pair. but after using Lowa i recognized that can not wear Vasque at all. because they r inconvenient. i gave em to brother but he also gifted em to somebody after he took Tibets ))
- laces r very good. the only back back boot where i do not need tie up laces every 2km
one con i noticed up to now. but actually it is not defect. it is consequence of the fact that Lowa boots are leather made
one day during hunting in fall i was walking 7km across village field. i was on that field plenty times before. but that time local farmer used chemival fertilizer 1-2 days ago. after visitng this field that time the leather of my lowa boots became not as dark brown as it was before, it became light brown. but nothing else. the same thing was with my friend's boots of different brand. so be careful with Lowa boots in places where some chemical stuff is spread. however it is mentioned in Lowa's instruction ))
bottomline:
- if u r ready to spend money and buy professional boots for tough conditions - buy this. they really cost their money. Amazon's price is good and here boots 2times cheaper than here in Moscow and 1.5 cheaper than in Paris where i bougt Rangers
- if you go to some easy tracks or u r in extremely good physical form like my friend who climbed 3800 m in sneakers and you just do not have opportunity to pay for Lowa..well..try other brand. but if u can afford Lowa in the future - try them. u will not regret

I was having problems on long hikes with blisters and jamming toes on downhills. These boots fit very well, and I have had no problems. Haven't had them long enough yet to comment on their durability, but they are doing quite well so far.
