Women's Lowa Albula GTX

Just ordered my second pair while my first pair is in the shop getting new soles. I average about 200 miles a month in these boots and other than the usual wear and tear they have held up great. Definitely well worth the money.

I don't usually write reviews, but I love these boots!!! I was searching for trekking boots for Nepal and have tried on bunches of boots. These fit out of the box, with thick socks and were comfortable. I have a rebuilt knee, so they feel heavy on that leg, but not horrible. I have been doing training hikes in these boots, but nothing longer than 4 or 5 miles...no hot spots, blisters or other discomfort. Everest Basecamp here I come...knee and all.

These felt great right out of the box! They are super sturdy without feeling too stiff. Initially, I had purchased the Asolo Attiva and I had nothing but problems with them, the laces would not stay tight and they were really sloppy, but I face that problem with many boots because I have super narrow feet. I returned them after about 10 hikes and found these. Have not had to retie the laces one time! They don't take a tremendous amount of effort to lace up either! I love it! I put them on and they stayed comfy all day! No nasty rubbing anywhere inside the shoe. I am really impressed.

I love these boots! and I don't want to take them off. I love hiking and good hiking equipment but I don't like how most boots are so manly. I want serious boots that are also cute. These boots are both. You can tell they were designed by a woman. They are sturdy, supportive, and beautiful!

Needed new boots for ME AT section hike this fall. Wanted plenty of time to break in. These are the most comfortable boots I have had right out of the box. I am especially impressed by the lacing system. I have small feet (6)and usually my heel slips no matter how I tie the boots so I usually have to wear two pairs of socks. I love the cross tie as I can get my heel snug and the boot tongue does not slip around. I am doing fine with one thin wool blend hiking sock. So far I think I made a great choice!

These are the best hiking boots I have owned in my 50+ years of hiking. No blisters, great traction, feet are not tired after a long hike in them at all. If they ever wear out I will hope to just replace them in kind. On top of that they are stylish. This is after 6 weeks or so of regular use, mostly on the trails in Griffith Park, rain or shine.
