Zamberlan leather is much thicker than Lowa, across all models I’ve ever owned (quite a few). Lowa resole service is also done in house in Germany and they come back looking great. Takes like 4 months. Zamberlan refers you to third party cobblers.
I have the lowa renegades nice but not enough support and lowa hunters which are excellent but insulated so I am considering the Tibet or schnees bear tooth. I am in the same boat as you and need a wide which narrows it down to schnees, hanwag, or lowa for me. From my research the bear tooth is not as stiff as the Tibet but it is an inch taller.

Mar 15, 2017. Messages. 864. Location. PA. I got a pair of Crispi Wyoming in 2017 and have put a ton of miles on them since. They have been falling apart in the last year and finally gave up the ghost. At the time they were twice the cost of my most expensive boot and were worth every penny. I have heard there might have been some changes at

I own the Hanwag mountain lites and i really have nothing bad to say about them. Purchased from lathrop's with the synergy foot beds. I will admit that these were my real first step into this type of boot for hunting. In the past it was always Irish setters, danner, and the like. I was between the mountain lites and lowa tibets.
My first pair of Tibet's leaked and were replaced under warranty by Lowa. My current pair is still waterproof. I'm considering changing away from Obenaufs though. It seems like a good conditioner but doesn't really shed water all that well. I used to use Sno Seal but have read it lowers the breathability of the boot.

Jul 17, 2017. Messages. 591. I have a pair of Hanwag Alaska’s that I have used for 4 seasons of elk, deer, bear out west. Great all around hunting boot. I have a narrow foot so they fit me pretty well. I also have a pair of scarpa charmoz for more technical, Rocky, mountaineering type stuff.
Ive not compared them on a trail, but in the store the stiffness felt about the same btw the HW Alaskas and the Lowa tibets. There is something about the HW's that felt really quality. Idk, there was just something that felt "old worldly" about the hanwags- like when crusty old guys say " they don't make xyz like that anymore."
