I was pretty much set on going with the Hanwag Makra Trek and bringing the Crispi Colorado as a stiffer backup boot with more ankle support. I tried the new Zamberlan 700 Sierra GTX recently and have been really impressed with them. I cant speak to the long term durability yet, but they are very comfortable and the build quality seems to be there. These feel like a slightly more flexible Colorado with a little more room in the toe box. At $270 retail, they are $40-$80 cheaper than those boots I mentioned as well.
I will say that I wear a 9.5 in just about every boot and shoe, but the Zamberlans I had to go down to a 9. The Zamberlans in 9 feel just a touch longer than the Crispis and Hanwags in 9.5.
