They are made in Italy.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>If there is one thing that all soldiers care about, it&#8217;s boots. &#8220;Why?&#8221;\u00a0you may ask. Because we basically live in them. It is one of the few pieces of equipment a soldier is guaranteed to have with him (or her)\u00a0and in many ways the most critical. If the choppers are down or the roads become impassable, the boots on one&#8217;s feet are all one has to get one back to base.<\/p>\n<p>Any Grunt with a uniform that doesn\u2019t still smell like the PX has at least one horror story about his boots failing and talks about the perfect boot like it is the holy grail. In military circles, the ideal boot is debated more than caliber choice and UCMJ loopholes combined. For me at least, I think I have solved the riddle.<\/p>\n<h2>Specs<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Use: Primary Backpacking\/Hunting for moderate to rough off-trail mountain terrain<\/li>\n<li>Upper: HydroBloc Nabuk Leather<\/li>\n<li>Leather Thickness: 2,4\/2,6 mm<\/li>\n<li>Hardware: H.R.T. &#8220;High Resistance Treatment&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Lining: Gore-Tex\u00ae Performance Comfort<\/li>\n<li>Footbed: Zamberlan Memory Foam<\/li>\n<li>Padding: Z.A.S. &#8220;Zamberlan Air System&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Insole\/Shank: Zamberlan Modular Flex GT<\/li>\n<li>Toe and Heel: Thermoplastic<\/li>\n<li>Sole Paclage: Zamberlan Vibram 3D<\/li>\n<li>Construction: GTX Bootee<\/li>\n<li>Weight: 710 grams<\/li>\n<li>Made in Italy<\/li>\n<li>Manufacturer Warranty: Lifetime Workmanship Guaranteed; Limited Warranty<\/li>\n<li>Manufacturer Item Number: 1013<\/li>\n<li>MSRP: $300<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[one_third]<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Zamberlan2.jpeg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"dont-cheat-your-feet-check-out-zamberlan-gore-tex-boots\" title=\"Don't Cheat Your Feet!

Because I live in Idaho I had no problem finding different environments to put the boots through their paces. \u00a0From chilly 31-degree snow covered hills to 91-degree sun-scorched sidewalks, I covered it all.<\/p>\n<p>And the verdict? \u00a0No issues. \u00a0The boots worked great. \u00a0My dogs weren&#8217;t barking.

I have actually had expensive hiking boots before that were awesome until a millimeter of water was introduced along with a small stone and then all hell broke loose. \u00a0But the water repellency on the 1013 boots was nothing short of amazing. \u00a0Like a duck&#8217;s back, the water beads and falls right off. The tongue of the boot is one piece which is great for keeping out unwanted guests: stones, foxtail grass seeds, bugs, etc.<\/p>\n<p>[one_half]<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Zamberlan3.jpeg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"dont-cheat-your-feet-check-out-zamberlan-gore-tex-boots\" title=\"Don't Cheat Your Feet!
