Kathmandu Tiber ngx Men's Waterproof Hiking Boots | Brown - UK9.5

Bought these in 2018, and wore them out after nearly 6 years. Walked them on bushland tracks and wet grass, approx. 2km, nearly every day.At first, my feet hated them; it took about 5 months for them to wear in and shape themselves to my feet, but for the remaining 5 years my feet loved them - they were super comfy.One shoe developed a leak somewhere in the sole after one year - and I walk through a lot of wet grass. Not ideal.Had to get them repaired twice, costing about $60 each time: the rear inner heals split, and cracks developed on the left and right sides where the toes start; these were patched successfully.Would I buy these again? Absolutely. They've lasted longer and better than any other hiking shoe I've had so far.

I walk of 8-10 km cross country every day over undulating ground, that varies from grass and mud to stoney and rocky. From mid autumn to late spring I'm always in boots and the ground is always wet underfoot and when winter hits the ground is often frosty too.I've tried lots of different boots over many years and I've learned through experience that there is simply no substitute for full grain leather boots with a good waterproof lining. In the past I've always gone with Gore-tex lining and it has always served me well but is expensive.These Tiber boots are my first foray into using NGX lining. So far I've done over 500 km in these Tiber boots and they have been outstanding. Comfortable straight out of the box and they've been tested in rain, frost and sleet and ... MoreI walk of 8-10 km cross country every day over undulating ground, that varies from grass and mud to stoney and rocky.

Comfortable straight out of the box and they've been tested in rain, frost and sleet and have held up without any issues. Considering I bought these at the summit club price, they are almost half the price of many other boots I've purchased in the past. They remain dry, warm and comfortable and the Vibram soles provide excellent grip and stability.I loved these boots so much that I purchased a second pair at the summit club price and I absolutely feel these are probably the best value for money all round durable boots for my daily walking that I've ever had. Based on the first 500 km, I'm confident that I'll get well over 2,000 km out of my Tiber boots and that's easily on a par with boots twice the price.Great walking and tramping boots that are comfortable, warm, dry and durable at exceptional value for money.

I love this boot. I’ve bought 3 pair. Very supportive sole and great ankle protection but.. the stitching around toe and crease area is very poor. All my boots have required repairing with shoe glue at 6 months.
