My Hi Tec mid length boots have bit the dust.
Hi Tec's have done fairly well by me, quick break in, they breathe, and not too hard on the pocket book, but I know there is much better stuff out there and I don't mind paying for quality. I just don't want to do the buy and return merry go round.
What do you folks swear by or swear at ?
I have gone fairly ultra light. Gossamer Gear pack, alky stove, down bag, tarp.
I prefer a stout sole ( trails in my neck of the woods are rocky ) so I shy away from sneaker style shoes.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
