Thought I would update on this after a year. I waited almost 2 months for the boots. The boots themselves have amazing quality however I do feel that they are quite bulky and the toe box is really narrow. A bit narrower than the Alaska GTX. If I know I'd have ordered up half a size. The ones I have make my toes go numb if I walk more than 2 miles in them. So currently I have a $300 nice looking pair of yak leather boots just sitting in my closet collecting dust.

gkstatesAre you able to further loosen the lace near the toe box? I had similar issues with the narrow toe box, but after a bit of breaking in, and loosening the lace, now my forefoot feels just right in these shoes.

RaisonThe lace doesn't run that far down. The area that was too narrow was around my toes. The lace only help around the ball of my feet. Also in this particular model, the soles are layered leather so they are stiffer than rubber soles in typical Hanwag boots so they don't flex much when I walked. I tried to break them in but I couldn't because my toes would go numb after 2-3 miles. I recently bought the Zamberlan Tofane and those boots are amazing. Fit like gloves for wide toe box feet like mine and very comfortable to walk in. Almost no break in time at all.
