Editorial Reviews:
Banff is a classic seamless leather backpacking boot. It is a lightweight alternative with sturdy backpacking sole and full rubber rand for durability and leather lining for close to the foot fit. The "C4" lacing system increases your walking comfort. Some of the features are: Asymmetrical padding which is thicker towards the outside of the foot. Recessed ankle areas which mean the inside is higher than the outside. Flexible curved insert towards the inside of the foot and soft edging on the upper end. The Asymmetric Walking Position (AWP) is another great feature of this boot. It has a raised collar on the inside for better support. The ankle section of men's boot is set at a 2 degree outward angle to give a perfect fit with the lower calf, improving the rolling motion. The VibramĀ® "Tsavo" sole have a self-cleaning profile which gives excellent grip on all types of ground. The braking helps with impact and rigidity zones. Also features a shock-absorbing polyurethane mid-sole for a high degree of walking comfort and 360 degrees of multi-traction.

Summary: All wheel drive!
Comment: The Good: These are the four wheel drive of hiking boots. I feel like I could climb up a wall with these things on. Very comfortable, and the vibram soles grip really well on any kind of slope. They breath well, and are very well constructed. The look pretty clunky when new, but look much better with some dirt on them. These boots were made for backpacking. They're definately not your light weight hiker boot, they almost have a mind of they're own.

The getting used to: There is a definite break in period. When I first put these on, I realized how Frankenstein must have felt when he took his first steps. These things felt like bricks. If I hadn't purchased them at REI, I would have returned them on the spot, but I'm glad I didn't. After about 8 miles they're forming to my feet, and I'm feeling very good about this purchase. They're very comfortable, heavy duty backpacking boots, and that's just what I was looking for.

The insoles that come with the boots are for looks only, they're cheap paper. Plan on purchasing some new insoles with the boots, along with some nice wool socks.

Summary: Fantastic shoes
Comment: These hikers are fantastic. They broke in quite quickly, and are extremely comfortable, conforming very nicely to my foot. They offer wonderful ankle support, and grip nicely. And, they look great! Pricey, but well worth it... while I haven't put them through too much yet, I've heard from others that I can expect them to last a very long time.
