Kimjon raises some some very valid, accurate points from experience that but should be listened too. The Lowa boot has the same sole as the meindel. They are terribly slippery in certain areas and cause me to spend more time looking where I am placing my feet instead of looking for animals. They are as he said very heavy when wet as well.
Some creeks and areas on the coast are just slimey shit holes but you need them for access. I look like its my first time on skates sometimes. And I get quite wound up about how shit my boots are in those situations. I like Kimjon believe they are just plain dangerous. My Lowas however have lasted almost 3 yrs. They are getting tired now.
I will be looking for another boot when they finally give out. If they made the Lowa with a replaceable soft sole I would reccommend them. They dont and I reckon they and similarly made boots are dangerous in certain areas. I have had some mean slips and falls. If you dont hurt yourself you will hurt your gear.
Cheers Kimjon for reminding me. I just put up with them thinking I was just clumsy.
