(You need to Login or Register to view media files and links)I bought some of the 8 inch boots for portaging. They are light and I have put some miles on them but no water yet. Hope they hold up for a month long trip. With the two for one at the outlet they are only $45 or less each. Too good to be true???
I did some checking on reviews about them from independent testers. They score very well.
Made in Korea not China which is a plus for me.
For the price, I don't see how you can go wrong unless they would prove to be complete junk.
I have never bought expensive tripping shoes. I think the stress of being wet much of the time if you wet foot your canoe and then a rugged portage carrying a load tears up even good boots.
I buy low cut water shoes on discount. I don't have orthopedic issues so they give me all the support I need. I bring a new pair every year for my main footwear and the old ones if they still look good as camp shoes/back-ups.
At 2 for 1 price, I think you might have found a real steal? I'll look forward to a gear report.
Might get some just for casual wear and because you can't beat the price.
Why lightweight IF sturdy shoes/boots make a big difference.
