I bought a pair recently. The Zamberlan 4014 LYNX MID GTX RR BOA . Absolutely the most comfortable boot I've ever worn. Pricey at $500 but well worth it.
I have had these for 1.5 years and love them. The cable slides with little friction, which allows the tension to equalize quickly following any adjustment. I found the US Size 13 (Euro 48) to run small, and I regret not returning them for US Size 14. And although they have held up just great, finally now I have the Size 14 on order. Cabelas has a killer deal on the variant that has more of a black sole, with some yellow.
Have you tried Lowa boots? I'm pretty much down the the Zamberlan 4014 and the Lowa Tibet GTX. At the moment I can get the Lowa's for about $100 less. I kind of like the look of these a bit more, but not sure if that's worth the extra money realistically :)
Oh fantastic ! But I will say there is a break in period with the width even for a “normally wide” men’s foot The boa system … while nice in the dark morning to lace up, honestly I could take it or leave it. Nice to quick cinch up or loosen 2-3 clicks, but takes a min to get tight which I like and a good amount of force. Waterproofing is well done and still haven’t found anything better… I have plans to snow shield them just to not make the water proofing work as hard and hope to make it last 5 years or more like my last pair.
So sorry so late…. I would very much recommend these IF you can find a deal. They are not worth $500, but $3 to 350 heck yes. Second elk season done and they are great!
No these are not steel toe. I am unaware of a Zamberlan with steel toe but they may have them. As a lineman I have worn these too or a different pair of Zamberlans.
i could bring those boots back to like new with in 2 hours less than re soleing them buddy buy zamberlans boot care products they are cheap as hell and work deadly.I have 5 different types of Zamberlan boots which I have been wearing for the last 8 years.resole and do some leather care and you will the boots for another 8 years,cheers from Canada

How did the boot do during your elk season. Would you recommend to buy them?

Are these steel toe? I see a lot of my fellow lineman wear Zamberlan.
