The Phil-list Sep_2005: RE: [Philmont]: hiking boots

I upgraded from Merrells to Montrails for our 2004 trek. The Merrells were
OK, they just kept busting out along the side where the rubber protecting
the toe joined the leather of the boot (had 2 pair do this). I am very
pleased with my upgrade. The Montrail is the most comfortable boot I have
ever owned and I didn't get a single hotspot at Philmont..... This is just
my 2 cents, your mileage will vary..... YIS. Mike ('76, '02, '04 &
hopefully '07).

See the above link for some boots that were felt by the NOLS to be
acceptable and some that were felt to be unacceptable. This list and their
explanations may give you some guidance if you plan on keeping the boots
for
a long time.

Subject: [Philmont]: hiking boots

I am looking for a little help on which hiking boots to take a look at
for philmont next year. I see that all the vasque sundowner boots are
made in china now instead of italy. I was going to take a hard look at
these and asolo 535 tps boots. Has anyone had any experience with the
new sundowners?
