Men's LL Bean Cresta Hiker, Size 13M. Used. Price drop- 50 TYD.

All leather construction. These were made in Italy. Quality construction and materials. The leather has very shallow surface marks, but no deep gouges or scrapes. I think this would be considered heavy/stiff for a backpacking boot. They are noticeably stiffer than Salomon Quests, but i doubt they compare to Schnees or Crispi for stiffness.

I bought these used on Ebay.

Wear/damage-The leather is in really good shape. The sole is in good shape, but the back outside edge of both heels is disproportionately worn down. The previous owner was a heel dragger. The 2nd photo shows this.

The aftermarket insoles are labeled Sorbothane. They sell for $30, and are in decent shape. They both have a crack along the front seam that transitions between one foam density to another. This does not impact comfort or use.

Quality boots that offer a real alternative to spending $3-400. They are NOT $400 boots, but certainly a level above $150 boots.

$75 TYD.

I just hunted in the same boots in one size down. They are great boots.

I do that to the heels of my boots. It is not from dragging the heels. It is from stepping out and landing on the heels and rotating the sole till push off. It's a sign of a fast cadence, someone that covers ground fast.

On another note, they appear to be quality boots at an exceptional price. I am surprised they aren't sold yet.
