Really comfortable boots for my feet I am getting a new pair this year and I’m getting rid of my old pair. This is the last year of the Cochise that will have the lock on the back spine if you wanted to upgrade this boot, you definitely can by getting a new liner and new soles and a booster strap. If you want to upgrade it yourself you can probably just buy those off the tecnica website.
Did a couple of Tours in these on the have your side for a touring boot, but can definitely get it done.
