whose boots are favourite?
got a nice big split in the side of me work boot. the same old flaw with haix's ( the rubber on the side comes away and then the stitching goes). they've lasted 2 years now.
the question is shall i replace with another weird ski boot like fitting boot or try something new? opinions please........

Meindl
How about Meindl's Stu? Had mine just over three years now and they are still good - just the soles wearing out.
You can buy them from treeworker I think. |

haix haix haix all the way, never had them split and in reality i think 18months for a climber is a good life span
