I live in Peru, buy a new boots LOWA, Banff, to use them in Peru, Cordillera Blnca. To the first use, my foot scrimmage a rock and the leather it broke. Expect, for many years to be able to buy a LOWA boots, and when I used it broken with a hole was done in front of leather nubuk. Now I ask me, I should change them for another LOWA equal or to change them for another diferent trade mark and model but RESISTANT for rocks in a rough trail with mid a heavy load. Before I had, some boots like a Vasque and Asolo, and never happen. It is that the leather nubuk was wasted or the boot this badly manufactured. Helpme please
