Actually for winter i got a pair of like trainer boots light wieght and water proof inov8,s and will pair with some mountain laurel design's light weight gaiters. Bollox to walking up on to kinder scout in bare feet lol. What are these ones like? I started wearing more lightweight footwear with inov8s about fifteen years ago, before I moved to the Altras. Unfortunately, I now find them a bit too narrow for me. Having said that, I've not tried them without a footbed. My current pair have the grapheme impregnated sole. Genius idea. Last so much longer than the Altras. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've got wide fit feet, and they fit well and comfy and light. Been pleased with them up to yet. Boots wise I got some very old passed there best harkilla GTX that have done hundreds of miles up on the moors chasing white hares about back in the day and was belting boots for years and years . I also got a brand new pair of Handwag boots that were fell of the back of a keeper dirt cheap lol, that are a good few years old and never worn or broke inn as the GTX were still hanging in there. But now I seem to have gone off big boots. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
