I have moved away from the Salewas. The only reason is due to not being able to find an insole that fits and provides the metatarsal padding i need in that specific boot. (The Salewa is already kind of molded to add support, so when you add an insole, it really starts to screw with the fit of the boot. The boot feels great with stock insoles, but with the amount of weight im carrying, it's just not working out. I still enjoy the Salewas, but am using them for early season only. This year i've been running my Tibets super hard, and to be honest i think they're the best boot out there for me. I like that they accomodate a ton of insoles due to the lack of shape/support in them. It's basically a thick flat piece of polyurethane and it's up to you to custom fit them with whatever insole you like. If i were to redo anything, it would be to find an insole that fits me (Superfeet Orange for me) and then find a boot that felt good with that insole. For me, that boot is the 12W Lowa Tibet. I've spent WAAAAY too much money on boots and if i could have a redo, i would have 1 pair of my lowa tibets, then possibly a Lowa Ranger, or Crispi Nevada. Hope this helps. If you need any other help, PM me and i'll usually respond pretty fast.
