L.G. wore out shoes suitable for mid-mountains in high mountains. As can be seen from the pictures, he didn't maintain them at all. Such unmaintained shoes were also shown by some SV models.
Not every shoe is for all needs.

I didn't wear Tibets in that condition in the mountains, but wore them at home on forest paths. I change Gojzars earlier; I maintained both models the same. Greased with grease.

For summer high mountains they are really noticeably too high.

I still wear them for summer tours too, especially where you walk on scree.

I'm satisfied with quality; I bought my Tibet V in 2013, say 15 full-day high-mountain tours per year, never missed a chance to scramble on scree and boots still in one piece and decent. Sole replaced once, when this one is gone too I'll buy new ones, the same.
For more climbing paths I have lows (blister me on long tours), winter for winter (heavy...), lighter for mid-mountains, Tibet very universal and good for long tours.

We have about 10 pairs of Tibets at home, so someone from the family can confirm that the quality has gone down. We want the Tibets to be as high quality as in 2010.

bought 2012... What about newer 2015 and later? When you do 100 high mountain tours with new models you praise them for a reason... Rok did 15 tours, too quick to talk about durability.
I still claim that producers in the last 15 years found a market niche and worsened material quality for greater consumption. Alpina is no exception, sadly.
Mom swears by Planika. But now she goes to the mountains only about 10x a year.
Everyone praises their own and that's right. But do you also change the insoles? Cushioning and such?

Will buy a new pair now that they are on sale and report back in a couple of years. Changing insoles, impregnating or cleaning the shoes - too lazy for that 
So it doesn't sound like an ad for Alpina - in the past I also used Dolomite gojzars, about which I have nothing bad to say, and Garmont, which were by far the most comfortable, but lasted only two summer seasons.

My old Tibets (bought 2012) also did over 100 tours. And when the sole was already like Formula rubber I hesitated between sole replacement and new ones. Then I got new ones (fall 2016 or spring 2017). With these I definitely won't consider sole replacement, the upper part will disintegrate before the sole gets smooth.
But as I already wrote, they'll last at least 80 tours, which for expensive imported shoes is science fiction (there they talk more about hours than tours

Pardon, previous ones bought in 2011, new ones in 2017

Alpina has a sale again this week... My wife and I bought 2 pairs: Helios for me and Iris for her. Both shoes are basically the same model, Made in Slovenia. The shoe looks very high-quality at first glance, robust and light at the same time. Sole is medium stiff (not for automatic or semi-automatic crampons), toe space quite wide (most important for us). There is also a version in I Feel Slovenia colors.

Also rating of the above shoes: tested them on a seven-hour hike on rocky path (7J, Komna, Komarča). Sole: excellent rating, suitable for rocky ground. Toe space: excellent, toes have enough room without needing half-size larger shoes. Negative: both got a blister on the back of the heel on the left foot. I didn't fuss much about the blister; at first signs of pain I stuck on regular Hansaplast and changed it twice on the way. It seems that the slipping in the left heel will remain and we'll have to stick Hansaplast on every hike... Nothing dramatic. If shoes are stiff and robust enough for rocks, we have to expect some blisters.

No, if the shoes are right, there should be no talk of blisters. The foot after the tour is just tired, in no way sore and/or blistered.

That won't hold, dear turbo; you can have ever so soft sneakers, on a marathon you'll surely get some blister. In any shoe you can get a blister, no worry.

It also depends on the foot (conditioning) and socks, and of course not every shoe fits every foot. But I absolutely do not accept that it is normal to get blisters in gojzarji after a long tour.
Actually, I got them only once. In semi-winter (Alpina Peak) on the path along the wire, when it was "scalo full throttle" all the time. Say in these same ones, no blister the first time - straight from the store put on for the tour Suhadolnik - Kočne - Grintovec - Kalški greben - Suhadolnik.

A bit of genetics too. In our family we all have somewhat thin skin. When climbing I always have all fingers holed to the blood, as for blisters on feet, buddies already but I've tried countless shoes, slowly learned to live with it and found some decent solutions to get through blistered life.

My experience with shoes - Grisport.
10 days trekking, 10400 altitude gain and 190 km.
No blisters. Soft socks "svilanit".

And they're cheap too.
With these there's no talk of blisters.
When picking their shoes I fall into medium-demanding hikers. I thought I wasn't demanding at all.
