	Mike, apparently something other than the Chota's was 'sticking'! BTW....you can go back and edit modify your post to correct things without adding another post. Experience is the best teacher....problem is you always get the lesson AFTER the test! pd

	Thanks PD. I took a look at my boots this morning and the stitching was still OK. We'll see what time brings. ......Mike

	[https://altaigear.com/outlet/]. (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. (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) ack-the-5-hiking-thumb-rules/

	Your post got me looking. I ended up getting a pair of shoes the Navy Seals train in. Think hi-tech Chuck Taylor that drain. I bought the ones on sale, good deal I think. They come in WIDE widths as well. Run 1/2 size to full size small so be aware if your interested. Would make a great camp/fishing shoe and back-up portage boot if you're so inclined.

	Has anyone ever seen a size 13-1/2 boot/shoe? 13 is a little tight for me. 14 are clown shoes.

I believe both of these models run a 1/2 size small, so a 14 might be just right. EEE width is nice too. This model favored by Navy Seals goes up to 15 EEE.
