My new boots are Lowa - the selection wasn't that big as they have still got all the ski stuff on display, but I'm very happy with them. Wore them to groceries shopping yesterday. Not that appropriate, but just wanted to break them in (though they won't need much breaking in). My old boots are falling apart - I got them when I was 16!!! Which means - what a scary thought! - I've had them half my life! They're leather ones and while the leather is still fine, the soles are useless now. They've been to NZ with me and up a few mountains, but didn't get much heavy use in the last couple of years.
