anton 0 Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 agree with you there on Meindl targa Quote Link to post
jpt 284 Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 If money is no object then you should definatley look at altbeg boots. I am ordering some of the Norweigen ones because I need a higher ankle. I currently use scarpa gore tex which are great but a bit short in the ankel. Lowa are a good make as well and you should check out silvermans Because they stock some good boots. JPT Quote Link to post

jpt 284 Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 Bracher are bob mate. They don't do anything tall enough. You need a high leg boot out in the field trust me. I made the expensive mistake of getting a low ankle boot and they are crap for working in because water gets over the top well easy. Wellys are the best if you don't have to walk to far in them.
