    I've worn Lowa Tibet GTX for years, probably just bought my 9th or 10th pair and I cant fault them. My size has never changed so I know what size I need, wear them for everything, bush, easy, mountain, and also in BC - they have never let me down. Bought them from myhuntingshop.com, $337 landed to my door - half the H&F price!

    Boots

    Hi i have found that the evolve razorback boots are awsome boots for the price u pay they are comfy as like walking on pillows and long lasting i have had mine for around 2 years and have put them through everything mustering hunting through bush, pine, chasing dogs into gorges working in the yards and they are still going strong if u get them on sale at hunting and fishing they are 100 bucks they are a steal for the quality you get

    Mines another vote for stay away from grisport. I've had a pair of pro hunters for less than a year and the side has already blown out.

    If you do go for the Lowas, I would ask about the leather conditioner before using it. I have some Meindls and using anything but their own conditioner invalidates their warranty.

    Lowas, Meindl, and I think Haix are all made by the same family - three brothers with their own brand names.

    A mate had the stitching come undone on a pair of Lowas and they quibbled about repairing under warranty - said what he was using them for wasn't what they were designed for.

    Recently got a pair of Hanwag alaska gtx, went for a multi day cham trip first time wearing them and they really preformed, awesome for sidling. Highly rate them for alpine/allrounder

    Thanks Quest, it is the Hanwags not Haix that come from the same family. Hanwag = Hans Wagner

    well i cannot blow out and buy some of the top end unfortunately.
    Will get some of the z-6 gtx or the renegades. Will make sure i use LOWA branded products on them to avoid issues.
    Cheers for the info guys!

    I did this and it dried them out like a nuns vagine, if i were to buy Lowa again i would take the risk and use Hubbards Boot Grease like i am on my Andrews. The lowa stuff just dried them out.

    Agree with you there!!I started using the Lowa cream on a pair of rangers and reckon it was doing more damage than anything. Quickly changed to Hubbards which fixed the problem

    Also agreed. That Lowa cream is useless.

    Z-6 are better than the renegades I've had both and the z-6 is awesome as a bush hunting boot.
