Zamberlan Baltoro lites: one new set of tread and over 2000 miles of hiking in the year I've owned them. Should get another year out of them no problem. As a forester and a avid hiker I really put boots through hell and these have my stamp of approval.
Bulled my Grenson Fred natural grain/nubuck hybrids and gave them stained white leather laces, with the white vibram sole they’re like Converse on steroids.
