    Gri Sports are ok for the money. I bought them to replace my Meindl's that I had for 7 years. They don't hold a candle to them but ok for half the money.

    Use both Scarpa & Lowa. Both great boots.

    Hanwag, well under half price all up costs including visa costs. Five and a part morning working days to my door from Germany. True size shoe fit, size for size if you fit new balance wide sports shoes here in nz, no buggering around with 1/2 to 1 size bigger to compensate ill fitting.

    I had a pair of Hanwags too but I had to sell them. I don't have particularly wide feet but I found them to be a bit too uncomfortable for me. Build quality wise, they are superb, on par or even better than Lowas (IMHO). However, I would suggest that you try them on first before you get them.

    I've got Lowa Tibets and they are more comfortable than my old Meindl Island Pros, haven't tried any other brands such as hanwag, haix etc

    Don't know the answer to your question above, but as a price reference I recently got a pair of Lowa Tibets direct out of Germany and they cost $380 NZD for the leather lined model which is not avail here.

    Wouldn't mind betting they both come from same factory - the Military versions anyway
    The Haix don't have the name here like Tibet Lowa etc
    The Hanwag I think very underrated here - but again on TM don't draw the attention they deserve
