Kayland Vertigo High Backpacking Boot - Men's

Kayland Vertigo High Backpacking Boot - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 September 3, 2009

Well after a couple decades I gave up on Goretex to keep my feet dry from the inside. I just have to admit I have sweaty feet and an allday hike would leave my feet like they had been standing in a tub all day, and of course that brings blisters. I have tried different insoles as I have long narrow feet and need to fill the boot volume, however most all insoles are insulating heat producers and contribute to the problem. The Kayland factory insole is a thin breathable unit which may not have the longevity desired, but with a felt insert below, serves me well for a great fit aided by the laces to toe design. After a couple weekenders, I spent a week long hike (with two days in the rain) and can now heartily recommend this boot, as well as the great service & tech advice from Backcountry.com. Good support and no blisters. The soles are a little slick and the boot runs narrower than normal, which is good for a A/B foot width like mine. They are my new "Old Friends".
