I purchased 2 pairs of these in different sizes to compare. Only tried on in my home  and could tell immediately this wasn't the size for me. These boots are perfect condition and still have the tags and original box. These are a very stiff boot. I dont think their stiffest, but I believe they rate them a 4 out of 5. Definitely designed for harder hiking and backpacking and have become popular for hunting as well. Very aggressive tread and have the climbing zone toe and are crampon compatible. And of course gore tex. Please let me know if you have any questions. And thanks for looking!
