In reply to Choosing Off-trail Boots, Follow Logic or Hype? posted by overmywaders on March 17, 2008 at 1:56:16 pm EDT

Obviously, fit is crucial in most types of gear and your boots should be chosen for your specific conditions. Most backpackers do not really experience truely harsh conditions, even here in B.C., which has very rugged terrain.

However, when you backpack as a part of your livelihood, carry heavy loads and that means over 75 lbs. and do this at high elevations with mininal trails, then the construction, etc. of your footwear becomes very important.

I have gone through about 30 pairs of boots since I started and I have found that the better quality boots do work better, last longer and simply feel better over time, each to his own.
