    Some good advice above. Also consider the tread pattern. I have some very good European "mountain boots" for another recreation I enjoy and they have a flat area at the toe for smearing on rock - 4th and 5th class death if you fall type climbing.

    However, they are no good in the NZ bush or out on the tops where things get damp and slippery. Some boots I have specifically designated for NZ are the Hanwag Alaska GTX and Lowa Hunter or Lowa Ranger. Yes, kind of pricey but they will make or break a hunting trip.

    A couple of photos of the boot soles / tread pattern that I am using - when in NZ.

    Here is the climbing type sole that I would NOT use in NZ.

    Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
