    My second pair have just fallen apart! I bought these boots having had them recommended in Trail magazine a few years ago but have a few regrets. My first pair lasted about 18 months and had the sole fell off whilst I was walking Tour du Mont Blanc (repairs using tape got me to the end) I returned them to the shop from where I'd bought them and after a bit of quibbling they were replaced. My second pair have come apart at the toe and the sole is disintegrating too. Fair enough they've had quite alot of use this year whilst I trained for the 15 Peaks and I've done a quite a bit of scrambling but my old Salomons lasted for 5 years. Also my wife's pair have only just started to have the sole disintegrate in the time I've had two pairs fall apart but really a boot costing over £100 should last a bit longer. This time I've bought Scarpas with a good rand - I hope they are more robust!

    I bought a pair of Raichle's 2 years ago in Keswick in the Lake District as my other boots had got waterlogged the previous day and I needed a second pair of boots. Tried loads on and was about to give up, but I then tried these on and I immediately fell in love with them, great, comfortable, supportive boots. I find they are great for walking over any terrain, but especially rock scrambles in that although the boots are quite stiff, you can still feel the rocks beneath your feet, which I find ...

    I purchased these Raichle Mt. Trail GTX boots in Feburary this year (2009) in preperation for the Three Peaks challenge. Done a fair bit of walking in the Beacons and Snowdon and the soles are already coming appart. Will just have to pile on the glue and hope fo the best £150 pair of boots lasting 2 1/2 months!!!!!!!! Not exactly great is it.

    My carefully maintained Raichle Mt. Trail XT GTX boots are only 7 months old and have never been subjected to harsh conditions or use but already the sole has begun to separate significantly in several places. The lace tops have also frayed because the tip wrapping has broken away. Comfortable but not recommended.

    Raichle Mt. Trail GTX is a great boot and very comfortable! Well constructed. I don't see how people can say the sole of this boot wears quickly. I walk almost every night on pavement which is much harder on the rubber then gravel or trail, and the wear on them is minimal. The sole is tuff and hard which means a bit more break in required. Besides that i have sloshed through mud, rain and snow, my feet completely dry. Wore my OR Crocodile gaiters with them and worked like a charm together for cr ...

    I have had 2 pairs of these Raichle Mt. Trail hiking boots and on both pairs (and on both boots) the soles disintegrated after only 10 months. I use them for 3/4 of the year walking the dog - mostly over tame terrain but occasionally on moorland walks. I am not especially heavy and have not spent a lot of time carrying rucksacks etc.The problem appears to be the bond between the outer sole and the cushioning bit at the heel, as the join breaks down, movement starts between the layers which rub ...

    I bought these boots in Mar 2007 as i was taking part in a trek to Kilimanjaro in Sept of that year. At first i found the boots excellent, comfortable ,waterproof ,good grip etc. Throughout 2007 training for the trek a lot in the Brecon Beacons and Snowdonia (a lot of sharp stony paths) they seemed to hold up fine, however throughout 2008 despite maintaining the boots properly the soles are certainly not what i would expect from a product in this price range. The toe area is peeling away from t ...

    This is the 2007 version, the 2008 XT version has a waxed leather finish and rubber toe cap, this version uses Nubuck Leather and no toe cap and suffers a little damamge as a result.Starting at the base these boots use a well designed Vibram sole, grippy in most conditions (except for wet green rock) and it sheds mud really well. The toe wears well and even after a year is still sharp enough to get a grip. The heel roles well and you don't feel the hard crunch of some boots as you walk. The wrap ...
