    They are like slippers on - light as a feather - but I am presuming not strong enough for bigger guys.
    Hard to go back to my Lowa or Scarpa after them - but the Rusa wouldn't stand up in Fiordland or the likes for any peiod of time I imagine?

    I am bring in "used" boots from East Europe now.
    Have 3 pairs on TM at moment
    Meindl and Lowa

    Ryan - I think I saw a pair of "La Spotiva Karakourum's" the other day that I could have got - but I only trying to get in renowned boots that will sell to Hunters.
    Let me know (and others FM) if you want me to watch out for something in particular - and sizing
