Similar spec to lowa tibets, but cheaper, lighter and less bulky.

Looks like people have lost interest in this thread, but just in case someone ever comes across it and considers taking my advice..... be advised that a few weeks after posting this, I found that the soles were coming away from both of the boots, after only about 10 days use. I took them back to bivouac and was informed they had seen it before, on about 5 other pairs of the same boot. So, I take back my original advice to buy these.
