    I had the old stony creek Rusa boots.
    lightest quietest most comfortable boots Iv ever worn.
    Fell to bits(stitching) in 3 or 4 trips(fixed for free) and handled the next 2 years until the Vibram sole cracked big time in the arch.
    Down side of these boots was the sole.It was a hard plasticy sort of thing that made a hollow noise on hard ground unless you walked on the outside of your foot and rolled it down.
    It was also absolutely bloody lethal on wet rock it was so slippery it was ridiculous.

    Now have the new rusa and while not quite as light/compact/supple it is a vast improvement on the old model with reinforcement where the stitching let go on the old one,and a real sole that is rubbery and will get a bit of grip on rock. Vast improvement on the old model. (shows they listen to there customers )

    Not a full on alpine boot but for 90% NZ hunting I rate em.
    "Hunting and fishing" fucking over licenced firearms owners since ages ago.
