Dear Raischle:

Happy New Year from Oregon, USA!

I am writing to thank you for the excellent Raischle boots I’ve owned for 15 years now!  They’ve seen me through countless wilderness area backpacking trips, hikes in the Oregon Cascades, a trek to the top of the South Sister (elevation 10,358 ft / 3,157 m), and a backpacking excursion along the Wild and Scenic Rogue River.  I thought you might like to hear, and see, about my latest (and last) trip with what Backpacker Magazine called “the most comfortable leather hiking boots you’ll ever wear!”
