Answer to: "I'm planning a trip to CO this summer. Will do a day loop"

The North Face Plasma GTX XCR Boa II Hiking Shoe - Men's

April 3, 2009

The shoe is lightweight and breathable...almost cool, so bring yourself a pair of (heavy) Hiking boots as well so you have a choice.
I suggest Alpaca hiking socks, "Expedition" socks are good for blisters but are hard to find, and are for extreme winter. Made from pure "Alpaca". Llama
I have to immobilize the foot using the sock thickness.
Rotating the shoe or boot out everyday helps as well.
I would make sure you like the ankle support shoe or the regular shoe without ankle support.

The North Face Plasma GTX XCR Boa II Hiking Shoe - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 March 27, 2009

I especially like the Vibram soles. Haven't worn out a bit.
Light weight I would think it's not a hiking boot. All the guy's at the gym heads pop up when I ratchet the shoes and say "What's that"!
I guess I'm just carefull with the ratchet and it hasn't broke...Yet....!
Reall cool in the summer months, I just rotate them out but I don't have too!
I guess this rachet thing will catch on as time goes by and them some cheap company will get a hold of the idea and spoil the quality.
The spring has sprung on me quite a bit in situations where I needed the shoe to hold together, but I just reach down and tighten again. This is a excellant concept....now they can only improve on it. I don't think the shoelace companies will like it, unless that's the place you take them when they break.
That BOA construction is strong.
Have not binded on me in key grooves.
I have severe arthritis in my feet from the service, all that ground pounding and these are such a delight to just slip into with relative ease.
Thumbs Up!!!
