Hi Ladies,
I'm trying to make a decision about new hiking boots. I want to order the Vasque Wasatch GTX women's boot at REI. It says they are midweight for light to moderate backpacking loads...short to moderate trips. I will probably have a 25-30 lb. pack weight and be out for a week at a time.
What is your opinion? Do I need to go to a boot made for a heavier load or would this one be good enough.
Also, I like the Merrell Phaser Peak boot, but it says not for pack weight over 20lbs.
Help!
