VIOZ LUX GTX - Waxed Black

These boots are extremely comfortable for long hunts. I wore them during turkey season where I would run and gun. I also wore them to TAC and other archery tournaments where I was on my feet all day. I was very impressed at how comfortable they look and how durable they are.
Also easy to clean and care for.

Excellent boots, good quality. They are very well made, a 5+, and fit true to size. They look great. I haven't worn them yet, only tried them on when I received them, so I can't comment on how they fit when walking. But overall, they are superb. I recommend them.

Yes they are a little heavier, but there many positive tradeoffs. They are super stable. The shank in the sole is very helpul on uneven and rocky surfaces. You won't feel sharp or smaller rocks through the soles as I need with my Oboz. Also, downhill hiking is easier on my knees with these boots. And there is adequate room for my long toes. I did get heel blisters on the second hike so the moleskin came out until full breakin.

Beautiful high quality hiking boots. They are comfortable already, just wearing for short walks. Can’t wait to take them on a big hike.

These were bought as a reserve pair since I love the ones I already have and never want to be without them! Love, love, love them!

My third pair. Great book, quick to break in and wish you would provide better insoles!

I tell my girls .. the one piece of clothing you should never ever skimp on is your shoes. That being said, after looking to replace my previous boots that lasted for a decade, non-Zamberlan, I stepped up and purchased the VIOZ LUX GTX. I am glad I did. They fit well even on the first day, the craftsmanship is superb, and there is something to be said for good ol' fashioned leather. I have an jury I must continually deal with, but these boots give me all the protection I need with added comfort. Still breaking the the boots in, but this summer I have a goal of hiking every South Carolina State park in them. I am looking forward to many more years with these boots and at the moment, I want to wear them everywhere ... work, yard, parks, church, and restaurants.

★★★★★ Excellent Boots That Exceeded My Expectations

I absolutely love these boots.

Finding footwear that combines outstanding quality, comfort, durability, and good looks isn't easy, but the VIOZ LUX GTX RR in Waxed Brick checks every box for me.

The fit was true to size, and from the first time I put them on, they felt secure and supportive. The craftsmanship is exceptional—you can immediately tell these boots are built with care and designed to last for many years.

One thing I especially like is their versatility. They're rugged enough for demanding hikes and rough terrain, yet they look so good that I don't hesitate to wear them to work or even for casual social occasions (as long as I've cleaned them up afterward!). The Waxed Brick leather has a rich, warm color that really stands out without being flashy. It's classic, refined, and seems to look even better every time I wear them.

Another unexpected bonus is that they add about two inches of height in a very natural, unobtrusive way. No one would ever notice—they just give you a little extra confidence.

These boots have the stability and traction to handle virtually any terrain while still looking stylish. That's a combination that's surprisingly hard to find.

Yes, they're an investment, but after seeing the quality firsthand, I believe they're worth every dollar. I'd rather buy one exceptional pair of boots that will last for years than several cheaper pairs that need replacing every season.

Zamberlan has definitely earned a new loyal customer. I highly recommend these boots to anyone looking for premium craftsmanship, comfort, and timeless style.

Delighted with the boots. They're everything I expected. The only constructive criticism I have relates to shipping, as the communication of shipping updates is quite sparse. The boots showed up at my door when I was not even aware they were out for delivery, or even shipped.

I HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE BOOTS YET, AND ACCORDINGLY I CAN NOT RATE THEM.

Great boots. Comfortable and sturdy while not feeling like anchors, I feel like these will fast become my favourite boots, I would prefer a darker colour but, utility over fashion. Dont question the price, the quality is there.

Love the boots high quality comfortable wore them in -15 degrees feet were fine easy to maintain and keep clean

My second pair in 6mo. I love them. The quality an finish is exceptional. I put on over 100,000 steps a week plus and they just get more comfortable. I will purchase again but will order well in advance of needing them. The company themselves and their customer service leaves something to be desired.

Instantly comfortable. Nicest boots I’ve ever worn by a landslide.

At one time I had feet trouble. Once I started wearing these boots those troubles went away. I wear them daily. Perfect fit on a 9 1/2 D. Just purchased my 4th pair. These boots are the real deal.

Love these boots. They didn't take as long as I thought it would to break them in. They are comfortable and very sturdy.

Not what expected, return cost is outrageous, it is not a winter nor a summer hiker, details not really on description, trying to return :-(

Great boots, fit well, went up a half size for anticipation of foot swelling at 18,000 ft. Well made, great finish. Breaking them in now for my trip to Everest Base Camp in 2026

Great boots but I went with the higher end sole/welted construction of the Tofane.

I have a pair in brown and wanted the same thing in black. I love Zamberlan boots.

Comfortable but not warm at all

so good I did not hesitate to buy. So far good to wear

These are the most beautiful, well-made, handcrafted boots that I have ever owned, or even seen! The quality exceeds my expectations and they are absolute perfection. Every stitch is perfect, every seam lines up, the rubber toe rand is exactly the same on each boot, etc.
Within 5 minutes of trying them on, my feet felt great and secure. I will take my time in breaking them in.
Again, absolute perfection in the quality!

Les meilleurs botte de randonnée au monde, rien de moins !

Very comfortable right out of the box. Not much break-in needed.

Amazing quality boots.

Product is as good as ever. Great quality and workmanship. Only disappointing feature would be paying $500+ and the boots going on sale a couple days later for $350. That was a slight kick in the old balls.

Love the boots. Very comfortable

I remember spending good money for the best hiking and backpacking gear starting with the boots. Upon blowing out my old pair, my philosophy remains the same. I spent good money and in return got a GREAT pair of boots. they reek of quality and workmanship. Perfect from toe to heel with no breaking in required. Worth it!

My third pair of these boots. Sadly this new pair squeaks loudly with each step.
Enough that other people have commented. Strangers.

My third pair of zamberlin backpacking boots. First pair is5 1/2 years old, boot liner worn through behind my heel, will probably send them in for repair. Second pair I ordered 1/2 size smaller than usual and tried hard to break them in but was never able to get comfortable in them. This pair is incredibly comfortable and is braking in nicely. Liner is leather around ankle and should be more durable than my last pair.
