Hiking Boots???

It's got a full metal shank, but seems remarkably flexible for that. There's a link to the actual boot in post 16.

Did you read those reviews? The one about them not being waterproof? The one saying they are great and 'true to size' is a blatant lie - we both know they run small.

If you've got the cash these are suppose to be the muts nuts.

Excellent scrambling boot that'll take crampons.

That does look like a better boot. (A bit girly for my taste, but a better boot overall).

I'm rethinking hiking on ice. I may just back off of it if I get there and its snowcovered. I'm sure there's easier/safer places to hike.

Yes, I wasn't too worried though. I wore them to work today and I'm thinking I'd like to keep them. They feel nice on my feet.

I wasn't certain where to put this. I'm going hiking for ten days in Montana. I decided I need new boots, but I can't afford too much with the economy being what it is.

I'm thinking about a pair by North Face. It is Dhaulagiri II, GTX. I'm normally not impressed with North Face, but the gear shop near me has that boot on sale for $129.

Is it a decent boot for the job? Its got vibram soles, Gortex outer shell, etc.

I should add that I may or may not encounter snow/glacier conditions. I have snowshoes I can take too.

If you're only hiking for 10 days then don't spend more than €30 on your boots. Anything more will just give you blisters until you have worn them in.

Nice, soft boots with strong soles for €30 from your nearest outdoor sport shop.
