The best pair of gloves I've ever owned. You can walk longer with insoles and for once I found a wide enough last for my wide feet. The neoprene gives good mobility and it has been good in particularly muddy places, as the neoprene has not left any gap around my lower leg, so the mud has not entered the shoe.

I bought the new Viking Falk Neos again, because they are the best footwear for country life, for moving in forests and swamps, and especially for long-distance hikes. The fit is good, the boot is sturdy enough and the sole is excellent for all types of terrain.
I bought new ones because the previous ones fell apart in less than two years.
I would give five stars if I could be sure that the boots would last longer than they have so far. The part between the stem and the foot, above the ankle, has been susceptible to cracking, allowing water to enter.
I hope the new pair will last even better, because you won't find any better off-road shoes, except for Viking's parallel models, which I also use myself, mostly in mid-summer.
Falk Neo is the most versatile of Viking's hiking boots, because it is also suitable for cold weather before summer and is warm enough well into autumn, even until the end of the hunting season.

Comfortable and lightweight. They have done well in Finnish forests and in peatlands in Scotland. The upper part is a bit wide if you have smaller legs, so make sure you don't get snow in the boots.
