      “I really dont know if mine are Rotondos on Montagnas, but they dont have a toe stitch, they do have the 5mm thick leather upper, and the stitched Welt in between the vibram sole and the upper. I have owned these boots since 1990 (purchased @ REI $225.00) These are hands down the very best boots I have ever owned, and I have owned alot of boots. Hands down the best foot protection of ANY other boot PERIOD!!! I have used these boots in streams, steep granite, ICE with crampons, snow shoes and sharp slag from old gold/silver mines in the rockies, Arizona Colorado, Utah, Washington, California, Idaho, and Vermont… I have also used them even when the situation didnt require this much boot. I have goten used to wearing the 5 pound boots and feel naked without them, They have out lasted other boots 10/1. after 8 years I wore out the vibram sole in Idaho and bought a similar looking boot from LL bean to get me by while I was having them resoled and, and the LLbean boot completely trashed in 7 days. I am still using these old Raichle's and I wish I could find another pair for my later years, I use size 12, so if you have any or know anyone who may please email me thanks ….. David Axx”
