at Spac Sport Summary:
I had to laugh that for once a product is cheaper in Europe. Usually the products we buy here in Europe are far more expensive than in the US. Except for German boots. The Tibet GTX is a reliable boot. I've used them in a number of different conditions; cold and snow (-20C), heavy loads, crossing rivers and simple walking. They're waterproof and with the use of gaiters you can cross rivers 1 foot deep (if you do it fast). They look cool and feel cool. Good support. Just keep them in a good condition, use the right wax or cream and keep them clean. You can always replace the sole if necessary. Customer Service:

at German outfitter Summary:
Pro: Support, waterproof, looks
Con: Weight, price
I have a surgically repaired ankle that requires special attention when running or backpacking. These boots provide amazing support, allowing me to cover a few extra miles pain free. Completely waterproof and very cool looking, their only potential drawbacks are weight and price. Too heavy for day-hiking, but just what the doctor ordered for lugging a 40lb pack! Customer Service:
None required with these boots, but other encounters with Lowa USA have been satisfactory, but not excellent. Similar Products Used:
Raichle

Killer boots! Tibet GTX's rule!
The Germans know what they're doing! This boot company was in Fobres Magazine -listed in an article section as (Paraphrased) : "The 50 most neccessary items items for those who have it all".
They are made like Mercedes-Benz cars!
Light weight; Breathable; Excellent support for backpacking loads;Handsome looks;Fabulous materials,and boot technology;...LOWA -that's all I have to say!! Customer Service:
Just an excellent company,with excellent service.
Any backpacking boot made by Lowa,is worth it's weight in gold! Similar Products Used:
Asolo Globaline "Parallel GTX"(loved 'em,but they're no longer made)
Scarpa 'SL'-excellent non-GoreTex backpack boots.
