    New Salewa Boots

    Got up this morning to a new pair of Salewa Rapace GTX boots on the doorstep, bloody beauty!! this is my second pair of Salewa boots i have ordered from trekkinn.com . Ordered them on the 9 june and on my doorstep on the 19th so pretty good service coming from the Netherlands. My old pair have lasted well bought them 3 years ago, but found with the tread wearing down i'm slipping a bit on steep greasy tracks so time for new ones.
    $380nz delivered so the price was $50 dearer than my first ones but theses are up around $580-600 retail in NZ now so too much for a tight ass like me!!
    I have found them not quite as waterproof as a boot with a full leather upper but if ya keep the appropriate Nikwax treatment up on the gortex tongue they are pretty good and still good support around the ankles with a good aggressive tread on the sole.
    I will never go back to a boot like Lower Tibets or Hanwags again , they are just too heavy for my ole legs especially when wet from river walkingName:  20240619_091355.jpg
