These look interesting. Has anyone here tried this shoe? The company is known for excellent products and great quality workmanship. I had a pair of their boots and I would say they were extremely well built.

But $275 seems excessive for that low cut shoe.

Yes, expensive but well built and able to to be resoled. If you have the money, hike and backpack a lot, I say spend the extra money if you’re interested in trying an Italian boot company known for its superb construction and workmanship.
