    New Boots

    Hey. I need new boots.
    Requirements are
    1. Durable
    2. Not too heavy
    3. Waterproof
    4. Comfortable
    5. High rand preferable
    6. Leather that can be treated
    Most of my hunting is North Island open tops with some river work in Spring Autumn.
    I don't need crampons or a really stiff shank
    Had Meindel Makalu's which were great but too spendy now
    Recently blown out Haix K2 and they are also great and considering doing that again
    Was thinking Bestards Breithorn. The Sarek looks good but too high a cut for my liking

    Please don't post Asolo or something from the Warehouse.

    Yeah I saw them once and they looked good. H&F had them for a while didn't they?

    Scarpa Escapes are treating me well, they do a less stiff model too that might suit you better.

    Haven't tried your other options to compare, but they're definitely lighter than the LaSportiva Makalus I had before them.

    Last pair of boots were Meindl Makalus. Replaced them with Garmont Idahos happy with them so far.

    New Boots

    As you no James I have the menidal gtx pro. I wore them everyday for a year, they are now completely shagged, brought a pair of "Andrew" boots from h&f the other month. Highly rated very comfy.

    Going to Longview on wensday not Daphne
