Solid boot and well made! Width is kind of an issue. I don’t have really wide feet and they are pretty skinny width wise. Boot doesn’t feel stable.

Very happy with the fit and comfort of these boots. The leather upper is of superior quality. I am concerned about the longevity of the sole. My last pair broke down after 4 years so I will have to wait and see. I’m hoping they made improvements with this rubber. My feet love the boots!
A
May seem expensive until you hike in them. Best boots I ever had, by far.
D
Excellent quality. High quality leather , very practical. Totally seamless, made of one leather piece. Comfortable and light. I am enjoying them. Highly recommend
R
After only having worn them two days, they already feel quite comfortable and solid: seem very well made. So far, I am delighted.
B
A good boot, did not take along time to break in and become comfortable. Waterproof, and kept my feet dry and warm in snow and water. I usually wear a size 8.5, however these are a size 8 and fit fine. I do recommend them.
J
Comfortable out of the box. Craftsmanship is excellent. Great for 1-3 day backpacking trips in the Rockies.
B
Très bonne botte et très souple pour le départ pas besoin des cassé vraiment bonne
J
SHWEET!!
P
J'ai demandé à être remboursé, car la boîte d'orteils est trop étroite. J'ai retourné les bottes et je souhaiterais maintenant me procurer des 1996 VIOZ LUX GTX® RR
M
It is my third set of boots from Zamberlan in 2 years, that says it all :)
D
I'm happy with the boots and I've used this make of boots for several years, at 71 I'm pretty sure I know my size but these boots seem just a little big like maybe half a size. Otherwise good stuff
M
The best scrambling and hiking boot on the market by a country mile.
A
Second pair of these great boots.
Will be ordering replacement soles for my current ones and my new ones will be for special occasions.
C
Fitted well after following online the advice how to choose my correct size. Very comfortable boots. Would buy again
B
so far, so good. We tried on just about every hiking boot that is made and found the Zamberlans to fit the best and be the most comfortable. We have a big trip coming and we wanted to make sure we had a quality brand that wouldn't let us down.
S
This is my second pair of these great hiking boots. I must have Italian feet because they fit right out of the box and required no break in period. My good luck!
P
Best boot , best value, best company.The only boots I have worn for 30 years are Zamberlan.
A
Well constructed. Comfortable from the onset. Broken in after about 6 miles. Very nice looking. Have received compliments.
L
Great looking boots
H
I ordered these from Zamberlan Can. They were in stock and shipped within days! Can’t complain,great service 🫡
W
The Zamberlan 309s are a fantastic hiking boot for those looking to buy their first pair. The materials on these feel high quality and the construction is very sturdy. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they were made in Italy! The boots are extremely comfortable from the box and I had zero issues breaking them in. I wore them for 9 days straight on a Nova Scotia trip and put around 30 kms of walking/hiking/light running into these boots and they're still in great shape. I don't see myself getting rid of these any time soon!

I already own a pair of "1025 Tofane NW GTX RR " - "Vibram Nortrack Hydrobloc Waxed Brick ??", your top of the line boots.
FYI: they are size US 10 1/2, Euro 45 and fit me very comfortably.
For this new pair "309 New Trail Lite GTX", given the narrow-width comments on internet, I went up in size to US 11, Euro 45 1/2. After 2 days of use, I can say that these boots are as comfortable and width is not an issue.
D
These have exceeded my expectations. I’m a tough sell in the footwear department. The way the heal is formed on these adds comfort I’ve never experienced before. I will certainly by buying more of this brands products!!
R
Great shoes! Using these daily when walking the dog on a trail in the woods.
