My next travel adventure will be taken in these boots. Each year I receive a dividend from REI ($100 this time) which coincides with their 20% off one item sale. Back in December, I replaced my Merrell boots, which reached their end of life in Patagonia, with a pair from Soloman. Unfortunately, these have proven to be uncomfortable on hikes of more than a few hours. I need a boot that will allow me to trek all day without any fatigue or discomfort. Hopefully, these Lowa will do the trick. Kyle, you are welcome to my Soloman’s if they fit.
