RE: [Philmont]: Gear Questions

   Obviously, it's a personal decision whether or not to brand boots, but
those of us who did get them branded are glad that we did. (And yes, we
branded the boots knowing that the warranty was voided. The chance of
utilizing the warranty on a pair of boots is quite slim anyway.)
...unless your boots are from a full-satisfaction establishment like REI or
LL Bean. My Bean boots (gore-tex Vasque leather model) took two tries to get
the size right, and the first pair had a year of hard wear on them before I
finally figured out why boots that were well-broken in and felt comfortable
were giving me blisters, but only on the longest hikes. Bean exchanged 'em
without a whimper.
