Just an update....

I covered about 9 miles of terrain on Saturday (opener for turkeys in PA). Probably 3-4 miles of it was on pretty rocky terrain. Glacial rock deposits...some was 4-pt to scramble over rock piles the trail crossed, most was just walking on rocks that ranged in size from gravel to boulder.

The Lowas did great. I really like them a lot after giving them a bit of a workout. Between that and a couple turkey scouting trips, I've got maybe 25-30 miles on them and they feel great and the soles are firm/stiff enough to give some protection from protrusions on the rocks.

Overall, very pleased with the boots. Just figured I'd put in the impressions after using them for their intended purpose.
