Thread: Boots

I've become a big fan of lightweight boots, the La Sportiva TRK GTX are awesome, they're as stiff as any "proper" leather boot but half the weight and they've lasted me pretty well, I've got another new pair ready to roll when these ones give up which at this rate will be a few years! Also been using the Inov8 Roklite, I had the older model a few years back but managed to misplace them somewhere and have just got the new model, super comfy and weigh nothing.

Yeah, Ryan got me onto a few years back, grabbed some on a half-price sale. possibly the most comfy boot I've had but didn't last more than 4-5 months of everyday use, and if the grass looked wet, you were getting wet.
The sides let go after a while, but in their defense, they aren't designed for what I'm doing in them.
I've gone back to Salomon for the summer and a Andrew Zebru for an everyday and winter boot.

How long do those Inov8s last you mate?

I'm going to be doing more hunts this summer in areas that my Lowa Tibets are just massive overkill for.. definitely interested in a light and fast boot.

Well the last ones are assumed to have flown off the roof of a truck somewhere so never really got a chance to see how long they'd really last. I'd imagine lots of scree etc would be hard on them but they're made pretty well for what they are and what they weigh, they have some kind of propriety sole material also which is supposed to be super hard wearing
