    New boots - scarpa manta tech GTX or grand dru GTX

    Time for some new boots, leaning towards the scarpa manta tech GTX or the scarpa Grand dru GTX, any feed back from guys that have had either would be great.

    Feel I have to give Scarpa a shoutout. Bought a pair in 2015 (Terra GTX I think). Most comfortable boot I've ever owned, probably because they do half sizes. Just north island bush hunting, not extreme stuff, but nothing has broken.

    Scarpa SL Active are a solid option if you dont need full automatic crampon compatability. Super comfy very well built and the stiff 3/4 shank make them much nicer for walking than the full shank boots. I climbed Mt Cook in mine with no issues so cant imaging having any issues hunting in them. Obviously buy the boot that fits though.

    I've used Grand Drus a lot, sold them as they're too big and cumbersome. I just run the Ribelle HD now. Brilliant boots
