    Hanwag to Salewa

    I've had my new Salewa Rapace gtx boots for couple of months now, been on a few good armed tramps with them and last weekend walked into a favourite spot of mine and managed to blood them with this nice hind.Name:  image.jpg

    It turned into a fairly long day bye the time I got back to the hut for lunch and to let the meat cool down , then a 4 hr walk with a heavy pack out to my car, but very happy with my Salewa boots.
    I had been wearing some Hanwags and had a good run with them too but just a bit to rigid and heavy for my old legs.
    Dry they are 1080 grams and wet more like 1.5 kg each that is to .Bloody hell I thought when I weighed them no wonder the ole legs were feeling a bit weary.
    My Salewas were listed as 680-700 gr but mine are more like 780 gr, but that is still 300 gr less than the Hanwags.
    All my work boots and regular shoes are size 9 UK but my Hanwags are 9.5 UK 44 EU so ordered the Salewas 44 EU and while they fit perfectly they are a snug fit , even another half size bigger would have been ok I think as they come with some extra inserts you can put on top of the insoles they come with to get a better fit.

    I suspect they mite not be quite as waterproof as my Hanwags as the Salewas have a gore-tex tongue that runs right down to near the toe rather than the full leather uppers on the Hanwags, but so far very happy with my Salewas I think they suit my style of hunting my feet feel more nimble but still plenty of ankle support and the ole legs appreciate the lighter weight.
