Lowa make good boots !
The Catalan look like a good tramping boot - Lowa have them in the "trekking" category. They will be softer and have a more flexible sole than the Tibet.

The Tibet will be better if carrying a heavy load and if you get into the alpine onto scree and snow.
My two cents worth.
