Thread: LOWA BOOTS

yeah someone talking sence......for YEARS I have hated vibram soled boots,every single person Ive been hunting with (bar one and he is a freakishly slow stalking bush ninga hobbit) spends half the day falling over when they arent thumping on rocks or branches....
those cheaper boots of sarvos are good...very good....mine have been covered in blood a few times now cause I stay upright and they are reasonably quiet..... vibram soles suck for bush stalking.

Your ninja bush hobbit mate might have learnt how to stalk properly by hunting sika for a few years.

My tibets are going good never noticed them to be slippery ( i take my boots of to cross rivers)three years and maybe a dozen decent walks and they show no signs of giving up,wash them and water proof spray before putting them away.

Must admit I always try to use stick when crossing a river if the water is higher than my knees .

now as much as rock hopping/boulder bouncing to keep feet dry may look like good idea........if you going to slip and bugger yourself up........ IF you decide you have to do it,or indeed rocks are icy try this..... grab handfulls of sand/fine gravel and chuck it ontop of rocks where you intend to step. it helps,not fool proof but it helps.try it and see for yourself.

@25/08IMP I have Z8s and am looking at Crispis at the moment. Really like the look of the Nevada GTX and the Valdres GTX. Cheaper than lowa and hearing good things

How wide are the Crispi’s , does anyone know ?
I’m also interested in them but not having anywhere to actually handle them and try them on is a worry because I like a wider boot .

Yeah me too although I have heard that they are not as wide.

Bugger I have wide hoofs. Will try some on when Hamills in Taupo opens back up and go from there

Be carful - this wide carry on is often a sales hype to stop guys buying online/offshore etc
Sold 400 pairs of boots from Bluff the Kaitaia - had 2 with wide prob - 1 a Polynesian the other I think had the spare inners left in on top of standard ones - cause they never came back - actually the Cook Island guy didn't send his back either come to think of it
Get the inner length correct and 99.9% of time the width is correct too
Maybe some models are more narrow up front like some smaller Lowa's - but for women
