Thread: Lite weight hunting boots

Salomon quest gtx are great light weight stalking boots and quick to dry if wet.

I thought this lightweight boot thing was going to be the answer to all my prayers.... yea nah. Done one trip and back to a normal boot, my ankles were absolutely killing me from the strain of trying to stay rigid the whole time with no support.

Toughens em up. You’re actually using them.

Yea rolled ankle in the middle of nowhere isn't really my cup of tea. Don't need to be toughened up if using a decent boot anyhow. I can see the merit if Bush stalking or day hunting but pack on back and tops type country they're a recipe for disaster

I guess my theory is that strong ankles don’t get rolled

Sorry bad theory @gimp everyone's made different. I'm got what you call hyperextensive joints. Which basically means more flexibility than most you can pull all the jokes you like but I'll still beat you out of the supplejack.

Not to mention when you start getting old
Make the most of your good parts fellas as they soon start wearing out

@Sarvo you must be looking for the Salomon model Zimmer Frame plus

Not quiet - still leave a few fat young-en's behind on the uphill
Last 2 days - had 2 mates downed (but not out)
1 with brain leision
I with stroke
Both still in their 60's

Sorry to hear that. I wish them a speedy recovery

Anyway while on subject of Boots
Sorry to troll the Thread - but I want some answers on what Harkila Boots are like - anyone got/had or used and if so - let me know as I want to start bring some in if there is interest

Geez didnt think ankles or boots could effect you like that. Apparently there's a little blue pill available for such cases

@Sarvo have a look on the UK hunting forum some love em but seems a lot don't.
