I'm also buying new hiking boots and would be happy for your advice. Since I got burned with Salewa, this time I won't skimp on buying new ones :-). For now I have these in mind

For mountains namely (yet) I don't have so much time that it would pay to invest in two pairs of really quality boots. The boot is tried on and obviously fits me, but I'm really worried it will be too hot for summer. Thanks for your opinions.
