thanks for the reply man awesome to hear good comments bout the boots.....the only reason I never went with the Alaska was the whole PU midsole thing ...........If you've read my other thread you will understand long story short my asolos which I used to love wearing and only lasted 2 1/2 years had PU midsole....PU will crumble at an undetermined rate.......I got two years out of mine others have had one or two trips...some people have them for 8 to 10 years........for me this was an issue.....I played with the thoughts of many different boots before coming to this decision..........wifes releaved because she was getting stroppy bout my "boot research obsession" over the last few weeks
never mind at least the importers of hanwag have had the insight to make the sole units available to resole.......cost approx. 70 to 80 bucks I think this is bloody reasonable......the triglavs have a alpha cellulose midsole......dunno wat the fuck this is exactly but is said to be very stable..............I turned down the gronell stelvios only because I wanted a multi purpose boot and for me a stiff boot like the stelvio is more suited to high country and not really bush stalking.......well that's my thoughts anyhow everyone likes something different.....may look at some in a few years once the shock of how much these have cost has been forgotten by the wife.....lol.............
