I bought my Lowa's (current German army mountaineering boot) from a German online army surplus for about 70 euros retail about 180 euros, barely broken in.
i have gone up ben anne and ben neveis in them.
i dont walk to work i drive, walking up down stairs, crawling under floors/under pipes in plantrooms etc.
the only people that twist there ankle are people who try to rush and have unsure footing.
no paths up hills in scotland and cant remember the last time i twisted my ankle
pugh-the-special-one said:Hi amnesia I myself have been a walking enthusiast for as long as I can remember, I live just a stones throw from the Brecon Beacons prime hiking country, and as you can imagine I have probably owned many boots through the years including all the well known brands like Miendl, North Face, Scarpa, and Brasher, and of all those makes I would put the pair I have now way above the rest of the chasing pack by a long way in terms of comfort believe me that's the most important, secondly technical specification on these boots is excellent, even though out of the rest Miendl probably have the better build quality they are not very comfortable and are better suited to a much wider foot, North Face never lasted that long, Scarpa are simular to Miendl, and as for Brasher well they again didn't last me that long, my current pair of boots I have now a Salomon Quest 4D GTX they have impressed me so much I would definietly buy another pair in the future.
