"Hands down the best out there to keep you on your feet! Quality boots are the single most important part of a hunt, don't trust anything less than the professionals at Lathrop & Sons."
"Successful mountain hunting requires a lot of hard work and determination. Even then, without a great pair of boots, sore/blistered feet could very well end your hunt. A custom-fitted boot system will make a tremendous difference in how your feet feel and impact the ultimate success of your hunt. I trust Lathrop & Sons with all of my boot needs."
"I not only hunt in my Hanwag Alaskan GTX boots but I wear them each day. After 4 years and many hunts I can say these boots and footbed system are second to none for both performance and comfort. My feet are very soft and the high-country footbeds have always protected them coming out in the end blister free. I am looking forward to my new Mountain light boots for my archery hunts this year! Get out there!"
"I have used the Hanwag Alaska boots extensively and I love them. I had to buy a new pair because I gave my old ones to my guide on my dall hunt in Alaska. Thanks for a great product! Hopefully I can use my new Alaska and Mountain Light boots to get me some more trophies!"
"For several years, I've been using Hanwag Alaska GTX boots and the High Country Footbed by Lathrop and Sons and can emphatically state that I would never use any other boot system. When you find yourself 25 miles or more from civilization, it is a comforting feeling knowing that your boots will not let you down!"
"Hey guys,
Just wanted to say thanks for the great job you do with the boot system. The attention to detail is far superior to any other company I have worked with in the past. It's nice to know that there are still some people in this world that CARE about how thing should fit and feel. My experience with Lathrop and Sons was second to none. You should be proud of the work your doing!"

As the name implies these finely crafted German boots, in our professional opinion, are the epitome of a high country boot. The impressive range of technical components, such as the premium leather upper, Gore-Tex and Gore-Duratherm liners, an over-the-toe abrasion resistant rand, both polyurethane and crepe midsoles, full length nylon shank, and the world renowned Vibram outsole create a formula that has been proven necessary for a boot and foot to excel in a mountain setting.
Lathrop & Sons is dedicated to providing our customers the best!
