Anybody have experience with this brand? I saw these on REI's site. Very lightweight for an all leather boot.

These boots are excellent. I have a friend that wears them and has nothing but good things to say about them. Unfortunately, like Vasque, Merrell and a few other brands do not suit my feet. I highly recommend these, if they fit right. If not, you might try Scarpa, Asolo, Lowa or Raichle.

Thanks, I've heard good things about Asolo and Lowa, too. Just wanted to get some opinions.

Great boots. Italian manufacturer. Zamberlans run narrow. So if you have a narrower foot, definitely take a look at them. I have pair of Rica GTs. Indestructible.

I have a pair of Vioz GT's-- brand new. Only worn to try on. In a size 11 that I would be willing to part with.

Thanks for the comments. I'll pm you about those but what really piqued my interest was the 310 skill gt model since they were so lightweight and all leather. Not that there's that much difference between the two, though.

I own a pair of Zamberlan 3500's (an older version of the Mountain lite). For hot summer hikes they are a bit much....otherwise my go to boot.

I have the Zamberlan 760 Steep GT and I am very pleased with their perfomance. They have kept me blister free and dry and are like walking on air.

I have a pair of Zamberlan Baltero's that I like a lot, fit the best out of 20 pairs of boots I tried on but after about 5 miles I got blisters and a black toenail on a downhill section (cant blame the boots, I had loose laces and was too lazy to stop and re-tie). After the blisters and black toe I tried some non gore-tex, non leather hiking shoes and have never looked back.

I love my Zamberlan's..They are lightweight, but feel very sturdy and from day one felt wonderful on my feet.

I started with these years ago, am now down to what almost everyone wears, low-top trail shoes, I have a wide foot so options are limited. Much happier with low-tops and lighter foot wear.

i used a pair of vioz gt's on my hike this year and absolutely loved them. I've probably got close to 1800 miles on them and still have very decent tread and still are waterproof. they do run narrow which is nice if you have long skinny feet, and i only got a couple blisters...
