Backpack boots

英子

When carring heary loads with my day hiking boots, it starts to hurt my feets after 10kms. I'm thinking of buying new backpack boots.

Any recommandation  is apprecaited!

Lulu, any suggestion?

I tried these pairs and did search on internet. Comments are good.

That one is not Gore-Tex?

Try this one:

Montrail Torre GORE-TEX Backpacking Boots (Women's)

U$160@REI C$245@MEC

I used them for serveral weeks, seems good. A little slippy though.

Montrail Torre GORE-TEX Backpacking Boots (Women's)

I tried. It didn't fit my feets - too narrow.  :(


Even though Scarpa is not GORE-TEX, it's treated full-grain leather. Plus use wax, it should be as good as GORE-TEX

There's wide version available @REI, starting from the smallest size! You may call the store, or order it and pick up to make sure it's available in the store.

I bought wide version. Good luck!

我不太喜欢这双的底纹，看上去防滑性不是很好，是没是Gore-Tex防水性差别挺大

姐姐呀，防不防滑不是看出来的，这双鞋可以去初级Scrambling了。

这里是个款鞋的比较：

今天还看上一双Vasque 的意大利产的Sundowner, 可惜少了一只，明天打电话出问问找到另一只没。

看上哪款了？可以上网站http://www.vasque.com找找看有，Vasque在温哥华有好多经销商，不一定非得MEC。

How about this one? Takes a while to break in though.

Different outsoles offer different traction, i prefer High-traction outsoles. i would Look for aggressive traction on the outsoles if i were you.

Full Leather boots require longer to break in, but make a more durable, supportive boot. I suggest you  buy your boots @MEC because of their friendly Customer service &  No Hassle Return Policy
