I need a lightweight boot with good grip on dirt hillsides.
This boot is listed at 1 lb. 10 ozs.per pair! That is 13 oz. each. Is this a misprint?
If not, are the soles heavy enough to last or do you have to replace them often?
What is a "contact" boot. I've never had an issue with my feet not contacting the ground when I walk,although I admit,the idea of no contact seems very appealing.
This seems to be the boot for me(and my sore knees) but they seem too good to be true. Thanks-BrianAlex

You will be able to stand on dirt hillsides all day long with the Vibram sole paired with the flex 5 rating they give and enhanced rocker, you could hike sideways with a heavy pack on. The weight is for a single boot, problem is being fixed. The soles will last, and replacing them would probably cost more than a pair of boots. "Contact" is the model of the boot, not the type of boot.
