Thread: Half price Lowa boots and others

Yes, WXL is wide. The Ranger is "softer" than the Tibet. Look at the specs - especially the "upper" description and name of the Vibram sole.

The "stabilizer" affects the flexibility of the sole and you can GOOGLE the Vibram catalog to read the full specs.

Awesome, thanks for that! The soles are the issue for me. Also tempted by the Combat boots since they have a higher ankle. Guess it's between them and the Rangers. Both have awesome reviews. Time for a think i guess

Just got some Z8s a few days ago from myhuntingshop, very happy with them on the local tracks so far. Big test will be in a few weeks in the Kaimanawas

They are awesome boots I brought mine before the roar not to hard for Bush hunting.
Mine are the shorter ones just above ankles.

Love my current ones, hence why another pair is on the way, always good to have dry boots the day after lots of river crossings...

Which is what you should buy even if your feet aren't super wide, I reckon. I have wide feet but I only just fit the tibet WXL, most of my normal shoes are wider than the "wide" tibets...

I just got some and have done a couple of trips. they seem fine for me.

what do you do if you got super wide feet?
i was in the shop today trying on boots, and the wide lowas are the best fit though probably not quite wide enough ( have really really wide feet, i think 14 cm wide at about a size 46).
So I was wondering on your opinions on whats the best bet? I'm tempted to get a pair of lowa rangers off the net and just see how they go because they felt ok in the store
my only other option that i can think of to consider is the stoney creek stalkers because they might have a bit more give in them i feel to allow my wide foot a bit more comfort..
i'm only hunting in the north island so maybe the lowas are surplus to requirements anyway!
churs

I got a pair of the Lowa Ranger III GTX's. They couldn't be more perfect & $325 delivered.

Thanks very much for the heads-up about the site guys. They'll be put to good use for SAR Tauranga!

Was that the Combats or the Rangers you mean you got?

What sizing system does myhuntingshop use? I presume u.s.

Tried using the contact us but won't accept any of my 3 emails addresses

UK I think people were saying.

Can anyone confirm? I know I'm a 10.5 us but wanna get it right!

@223nut In the top right corner of the site there are some little flags. I clicked on the UK one I think. I ordered based on UK sizing and got UK sizing.

Let's hope that works, just ordered!
