Thread: Tall Boots

I just went and bought Lowa 8in high tactical/hunters. They have the low rise ones also. From H&F NP. $599. Which was by far the cheapest high end boot there, not that I shopped around much as I needed boots and the options to try something on are limited in a small city.

They are exceptionally comfortable on my gnarly old feet, fantastic support, lighter than any of the more expensive normal height boots and far easier (counter-intuitive I know) to get on and off. Being what they supply as tactical boots to military they have certain design considerations such as no hooks. I love that. Bloody lace hooks catch grass and rushes and shit no end. As the boot wears, I find Hooks pull out of shape. Metal eyelets are brilliant. Obviously I can't give a report on hunting use as havn't taken them out other than range and breaking in walks. With heavy socks they are hot on a summer day. But I'm in love with the format and wish I'd gone this direction years ago. I hate putting gaiters on and off.
