Since when did the names of hiking boots start sounding like cars? We're not so sure. But we're impressed with the qualities of this Swiss-made boot nonetheless. Influenced by the steep, rocky slopes of the Alps where sure footing is all-important, the designers at Raichie know their hiking boots. The Mt. Trail XT GTX is one impressive piece of work. It appears to have all the requirements for the most serious of hikers - even those hauling massive packs across uneven terrain. Its patented "Motion Control" design pledges to keep your feet stable and comfortable. The supple, full-grain leather upper and the foam supports in the tongue and ankle offer the promise of additional comfort. A stiffened insole and rubber toecap will help ensure solid footing. And those with narrow feet will appreciate the deep heel pockets that provide a better fit and lend additional support.

From independent research, we selected the Mt Trail XT GTX as a 3LUXE "Best Of". To see our other two Hiking Boot selections visit our Hiking Boot Overview.
