Thread: What kind of boots for NZ?

Second this. I ran a pair of island pro’s for a few years until they were toast and they were great less a bit tight on my small toes. Just got a pair of the guffert the other day ready for my tahr trip and bloody happy with them! Lightweight flexible boots are good in places but on some of my recent south island tahr hunts I have been in places where flexible light boots would not have allowed me to go where I needed and would have just been dangerous. Great on the farm or low lying bush/terrain though!
