FUJI 16,951 Posted February 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 See you shelled out on some decent boots Cheers, D. Those are just ny Salomons D..I like them if im on the fells, great grip on them and good ankle support but not the vest at keeping your feet dry..I also have some lightweight Merrells which are super comfy and again good grip..for wet weather and up the Fells I also have some Scarpa all leather hiking boots..they are excellent and are Italian made..im getting there bud with the gear lol 1 Quote Link to post
Maximus Ferret 2,063 Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Did you ever try Altbergs? I wear Altberg warriors with knee high gaiters and find I can walk through a stream and stay dry. (Only if it's not deeper than the gaiters of course.) Quote Link to post
