Interesting but have never tried them

I really like my scarpa grand dru' s.
They're stiff but the ankle support is great.
Very solid boot

I have the crispi Idaho gtx, 3+ years, countless miles up and down, crossed many creeks. Best boots I have ever bought and most comfortable. 10” high and really great ankle support.

Does anyone have any experience with the Saloman 4d 2 gtx? Thinking about burning my cabelas points. A lot of the reviews are all over the place.

Fit great, comfortable, good flex and not a stiff boot, if that's what you like. Guaranteed to leak as well as the pair they give you when you return them. Great summer and early season boot. I enjoyed mine when I ran them. Now I'm onto salewas and I'm in love.

I'll echo the statement from 92xj, They are comfortable, however they will leak! Mine didn't make it 2 month.. I didn't bother with an exchange.... Moved on to Scarpa Kinesis Pro GTX...

I can't figure out why more companies don't go with a Vibram sole, other than cost I guess.  I have a pair of boots with Vibram soles that probably 1/2 the miles are on pavement training and total have well over 300 miles on them and they still have plenty of tread.
