"I have flat feet, weak ankles and a damaged nerve in my foot. I have tried various boots and inserts over the years and had never found any combination that would let me go the distances that I would like without a lot of pain.

Backpacker Magazine gave their award to Kayland Vertigo High boots and so I thought I would try them."

"Okay, back from my trip! As promised further review of Contact 1000. Put it this way- at the Wasdale Head there was one hiker with dry feet. Me. My boots were fantastic. Over Scarth gap in 80mph winds and terrible rain and later through Black Sail Pass, Kirk Fell and Sca fell in miserable conditions my boots were a dream."

"So far this boot has been top drawer. It fits like a glove and with the vibram soles is very comfy. The front scuff protectors look invaluable and the quality or design and leather speaks for itself. Yet to try in really tough conditions, to check waterproofing of EVENT - Off to Sca fell Pike New Years day so will see- as looks like rain."
