Anyone tried these? Saw them for the first time at the field days here in NZ. Looked like a nice boot and talked to a guy in search and rescue who has a pair and reckons they're the dog's danglies.

 

And for the record; Can't fault my Meindles. Four years out of the first pair and they still get used as walking boots. On to the second pair but they need new soles as I wear out one side on the heel. Might try the Zermatts next time though.

Hi Fella

 

I got the SPIDER LIGHTS GTX they are so nice it seems a shame to even get then dirty

 

But had to be done and if they do the bis I won't be buying any others.

Zermatts I would not buy any thing else as a saw climbing boot, I can get around 2 years out of them... Had a pair of the scafels , they look good but lasted me 4 months before they started falling apart and did not find them that comfy,especially breaking them in.

Hiax I Generally get about 7-8 months out of and meindles are too slim for my feet... Pfanner boots though I just can't rave about them enough!!

scarpa pro ascents for most work and airstreams for wet days and dismantles

the scarpas are not even comparable to anything else i've used for climbing

Zermatts are the best boots iv ever worn comfy and strong, iv tryed most makes of boots but will stick with these. Just wish they Were cheaper.

My airstreams are still going srong after 18 months!! I find them a bit narrow mind, my left big toe goes numb on the side after a long day. Might try zermatts next.

I had a similar issue. Made the pads on my feet go hard and after long days it would leave them a bit sore. Not unbearable but it felt nice to sit down. Zermatts cured this problem. Well worth the cash.

Just about to replace boots, will either go for air streams, or the pfanners
