    I bought a pair of Zulus 2 years ago when they were on special for $200 but I havnt been overly impressed.

    The sole wasn’t flat, it’s slightly curved so I don’t get a solid grip when walking.

    I also find they don’t breathe aswell as they should so the boots end up wet from sweaty feet.

    I ended up buying a pair of Lowa Rangers for NZ$320 imported here into NZ and they’re a great boot, PM me if you want more info on where I got them.

    As for the Zulus I just use them as a general work boot cutting trees/wood

    I also have the zulu's. they just dont feel right when I walk in them. feels crazy to ditch them and buy new boots but it will be a bigger disaster if they fail on me in the mountains.
    I'll pm you for that overseas buyer if I can?
