Had these now for two months. Great boots right out of the box. These are super comfortable. My previous boots were a very similar pair of REI Raichles (that I've put over 900 miles on). These are a great fit from day one. True to size and width. Good looking, solid boot with great finishes, tight seams, and attention to detail. Worth the extra money to get a boot that will last as long as this one will.

After 10 years of light use my Salomon boots fell apart. I tried on every pair of boots I could lay my hands on; Lowa, Merrell, Vasque, Marmot etc. Zamberlans were by far the most comfortable, best made and best looking, size 10.5 is dead-on! I bought two pairs, the Vioz GT and 310 Skill GT. They were both so excellent I couldn't choose between them. Zappos service (and patience with my many returns) was outstanding.

Best Hiking boots. Right out of the box.
These shoes are great in all conditions. I use them to hike through RMNP and al the various terrain. These are good enough to take the dog on a walk right out of the box. The traction and stability on these are great and it's almost like they are pushing you along. Extremely comfortable, versatile and durable boot. These boots breathe quality and you can tell as soon as you put them on. Best boots I own.

Zamberlan
Made in Italy since 1929
Guiseppe Zamberlan (also known as “Bepi” for short), is the mastermind behind Zamberlan footwear. He began his career repairing shoes, which in turn developed into a career of making finely crafted boots. His passion for the trekking and the outdoors, led him to search for better materials and more efficient construction methods of boot making to satisfy his need for ‘safer and easier’ movement throughout the mountains.
Zamberlan boots are quality tested for durability and performance. The Zamberlan company, which is situated at the foot of the Piccole Dolomiti, is an ideal testing ground for new products and ideas. It is within these mountains that new ideas for top quality boots are created and cultivated.
So after nearly 80 years of boot manufacturing, the Zamberlan Company is still a family run business, with the third generation actively taking part in all stages of design and production. At Zamberlan, they remain dedicated to their hand made boots and believe they will carry you well throughout your journey.

Zappos is the best!
First let me start out by saying that the craftsmanship of these boots is excellent and Zappos service is even better! I ordered the boots online on a Saturday morning and had them on Monday! The boots took very little time to break-in and were comfortable from the get-go but I did have one little irritating problem. Even though the toe box offered plenty of room for my toes, when descending a steep grade my big toe would extend beyond the footbed. When I took the boots off, I found a half inch gap between the end of the footbed and the inside toe of the boot. I would reposition the footbed but it would just slide back in the heel creating the half inch gap at the toe again. I know that the footbed should have a bit of space between the end of the footbed and the toe of the shoe, but half an inch? For $35.00 a pair of cut to fit green Superfeet® solved the problem. The boots do offer great comfort, support and traction and after hours of hiking I have experienced no hot spots. All in all, a great boot but they needed a pair of Superfeet® to complete the package.

Pleased Zamberlan and Zappos -
The boot feels true to size but I take 11.5 and bought 12.I remove their sock liner and replace it with an energize foot pad for ultimate comfort and the boot weighs the same 1.5 pounds. Running shoes wear out on the bottom at 300 to 400 miles. I expect to buy a pair of hiking boots from Zappos every year. Have fun out there.

Eric C., NY -
Another nice, good quality Italian made hiking boot. The top of the upper has a meshy leather which is soft and flexible. I hope it will hold up well. The light gray. red and graphite colors break up the otherwise conservative look this boot has. The comfort is nice and supportive. It is true to size and width. Heavy socks give the boots a nice fit. Wear moisture wicking socks if you have sweat issues. These can comfortably be worn with orthotics. Depending on thickness, orthotics can be worn in place of or on top of the existing insoles. The leather tongue is thick and you may feel some lace pressure on the top of your foot if the boots are tied too tight. The stride is nice and the boots flex nicely while walking allowing for a non clunky walk. The soles have great traction - even on my snow and ice covered driveway - for which they were used during a recent snow shoveling job. The soles also have nice shock absorption. The sole seems to help you stride forward - which makes walking easier. This shoe requires minimal break in. I would recommend it for anyone who enjoys walking or hiking. No hikes yet but a few short walks have shown me they will work out well.

Very good boot, for my foot anyway -
So far after a week, these boots are turning out to be a good decision. I was looking to replace a pair of ten year old OneSport Moraines which fit my foot like a glove. The Asolo 520 and Glacier were runners up to these Zamberlans. The 520s ended up being just a bit too skinny in the midfoot for me, and the Glaciers a bit too stiff for my needs. The Zamberlans have a perfect amount of toe and midfoot room for my feet (D width, nothing abnormal). There doesn't appear to be much break-in required - they are really comfy out of the box. My only minor complaint is that the laces are kind of slick so they come untied pretty easily. I tried some other Zamberlans but none of them were stiff enough or fit quite as well as these.

The Tradition Shows in the Product -
I had no worries buying these boots. The reviews helped and I've never been disappointed with ZAPPOS service. Taking them out of the box I found some literature with information about the ZAMBERLAN heritage. They still make their boots in Italy, while others rush to cheaper labor markets. They retain their workforce and I think that shows with the end product. Right out of the box I was impressed with the finish and feel of the boots. And now, having just walked my dog 5 miles while wearing them I'm even more impressed. I generally don't have a lot of money to throw around but this purchase was money well spent. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another pair of boots/shoes or anything else this company makes. VERY PLEASED.

An Italian work of Art !
I bought the Zamberlan Vioz GTs not only because the Zamberlan family have been making "hiking" boots for over 75 years in NE Italy. Not only because they have a reputation for using only the finest natural and man made materials to make a boot that is comfortable right out of the box, fits like a hiking boot should, (tight heel-good arch, roomy toe box),built to last longer than most brands , has many features that offer (the hiker) benefits they will appreciate from start to finish ,and after having 3 other Zamberlan models ,I knew I couldn't go wrong. Besides all that... they look so classy !!! Hike them to the limit. Or clean them up for a “Night on the Town" I have a size 13 narrow foot. I custom fit all my 38 pair(sic)of boots with many different aftermarket insoles. I don't use the removable ones that come with most "boots."

Wow What a boot!
These boots are AWSOME all leather boot that is comfortable, light weigh, breathable, waterproof (Gore-Tex), good looking, true to size and they are NOT heavy! They are NOT bulky and "blocky" like a lot of outdoor performance waterproof boots. Very attractive to the eye. Absolutely no break in required. I purchase 5 different pair of boots and wore them all for several hours in my home and these by far were the most comfortable. The "runner up" to this boot was the Asolo Power Matic 200 GV. I loved the Asolo's "pully" lacing system which is the best lacing system I have ever seen. That said when it came to comfort these Zamberlan's felt slightly more comfortable. I love the "3-Action Footbed" which is designed to respect the foot anatomy, reduce heel strike and follow the natural foot movement during walking which is designed to reduce muscle fatigue (from my use so far this system is the best I have ever had). This boot looks black to the eye although Zappos describes it as dark grey. I wanted a black boot so I am very happy with the color. Worth the money!

I have had these shoes for about a month now. I have loved them from the first time I put them on. There was no break in period. They are very comfortable and give great support. Even though they are more expensive than some other hikers they are worth the price.
