Summary:
I bought my pair of Fabiano Mountain Master 772's in 1987 and I still have them
and it's 2008! I don't wear them much, but they are in fabulous shape! They were and are the king of hiking boots! It's a shame they are not made anymore, I love them! Just telling someone you were wearing "772's", they knew, you wore the best & were a serious hiker!

Summary:
i purchased a closeout pair of fabiano Edwardo(774) boots at $90.00 and a pair of fabiano Moutain Master(772) for $100.00 this was in 1996, they havent failed yet and dont need a resole.
the swiss tanned vachetta gallusser leather is as close to god in a boot as you will get.

i will seriously cry if i have to ever replace them.

Price Paid:  $0.00 at pro-deal from Scarpa

Summary:
I would give Scarpa's Delta a 10 out of 10 making it the best boot I have ever worn. After 200 miles of break in followed by 1800 miles of the Appalachain Trail my Deltas were only halfway trashed. I would not even have replaced them if an immediate resole had been possible. I instead had to settle with a brand new pair to finish the trail. Broke only one of the laces(dry rotted). very few break-in blisters but of course that depends on individual foot. Great boots.

Price Paid:  $200.00 at Alabama Outfitters

Summary:
I bought a pair under the name of Scarpa Delta. I originally considered purchasing a sturdier and heavier pair of Manta's, but was talked into the Delta by the salesperson. He was totally correct. This boot is extremely comfortable, yet very sturdy. I backpack in it, and it carries the weight with no problem. However, it is light enough to comfortably day hike in, or even to drive the car to the trailhead. I like the fact that it is not Gore-Tex, because this allows the leather to breathe better and keeps it cooler. Without question, this is the best boot I have ever owned.
